Psalm 120 - 122
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.
Go to the House of Yahweh
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”
2
Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,
3
Jerusalem, which is built
As a city joined altogether;
4
To which the tribes, the tribes of Yah, go up—
A testimony for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5
For there, thrones sit for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
7
May peace be within your walls,
And tranquility within your palaces.”
8
For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
9
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.
