Psalm 120 - 121


O Yahweh, Deliver My Soul

A Song of Ascents.

In my distress I called to Yahweh,
And He answered me.

2
O Yahweh, deliver my soul from a lying lip,
From a deceitful tongue.

3
What shall He give to you, and what shall He add to you,
O deceitful tongue?

4
Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning coals of the broom tree.


5
Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6
Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.

7
I am for peace, but when I speak,
They are for war.

My Help Comes from Yahweh

A Song of Ascents.

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?

2
My help comes from Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.

3
He will not allow your foot to stumble;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

4
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will not slumber and will not sleep.


5
Yahweh is your keeper;
Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

6
The sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

7
Yahweh will keep you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.

8
Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in
From now until forever.
