Psalm 120

A song of ascents.

¹ I call on the LORD in my distress,
and he answers me.

² Save me, O LORD, from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues.

³ What will he do to you,
and what more besides, O deceitful tongue?

⁴ He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
with burning coals of the broom tree.

⁵ Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!

⁶ Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.

⁷ I am a man of peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

¹ I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

² My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

⁷ The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

⁸ the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
