Psalms 120

1
In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.  2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying
lips, and from a deceitful tongue.  3What shall be given to you? or what shall be done to you, you
false tongue?  4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.  5Woe is me, that I sojourn in
Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!  6My soul has long dwelled with him that hates peace.
7
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

Psalms 121

1
I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.  2My help comes from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth.  3He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will
not slumber.  4Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.  5The LORD is your
keeper: the LORD is your shade on your right hand.  6The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the
moon by night.  7The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.  8The
LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever
more.

Psalms 122

1
I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.  2Our feet shall stand
within your gates, O Jerusalem.  3Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:  4Where
the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of
the LORD.  5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.  6Pray for
the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.  7Peace be within your walls, and
prosperity within your palaces.  8For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace
be within you.  9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.

Psalms 123

1
To you lift I up my eyes, O you that dwell in the heavens.  2Behold, as the eyes of servants look
to the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden to the hand of her mistress; so our eyes
wait on the LORD our God, until that he have mercy on us.  3Have mercy on us, O LORD, have
mercy on us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.  4Our soul is exceedingly filled with
the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

Psalms 124

1
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;  2If it had not been the
LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:  3Then they had swallowed us up
quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:  4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the
stream had gone over our soul:  5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.  6Blessed be the
LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.  7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.  8Our help is in the name of the
LORD, who made heaven and earth.
