Psalms 120

KING JAMES BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.6 The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.
8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
