Psalms 120-122
Chapter 120
Psalm 120
A song of ascents.
1 I call on the
Lord
(a) in my distress,(b)
and he answers me.
2 Save me,
Lord
,
from lying lips(c)
and from deceitful tongues.(d)
3 What will he do to you,
and what more besides,
you deceitful tongue?
4 He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows,(e)
with burning coals of the broom bush.
5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!(f)
6 Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.
Chapter 121
Psalm 121
A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the
Lord
,
the Maker of heaven(a) and earth.(b)
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches(c) over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The
Lord
watches over(d) you—
the
Lord
is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun(e) will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The
Lord
will keep you from all harm(f)—
he will watch over your life;
8 the
Lord
will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.(g)
Chapter 122
Psalm 122
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the
Lord
."
2 Our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city
that is closely compacted together.
4 That is where the tribes go up—
the tribes of the
Lord
—
to praise the name of the
Lord
according to the statute given to Israel.
5 There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love(a) you be secure.
7 May there be peace(b) within your walls
and security within your citadels.(c)"
8 For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, "Peace be within you."
9 For the sake of the house of the
Lord
our God,
I will seek your prosperity.(d)
