3, Psalm 120 ~ 123

Psalm 120

1 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me. 8 I
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 2 I
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

 

Psalm 121

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 34 I
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 48 I
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 24 I
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 15 I
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 37 I
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 11 I
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 33 I
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. 33 I

 

Psalm 122

1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. 5 I
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 10 I
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. 14 I
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good. 2 I

 

Psalm 123

1 Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. 11 I
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 10 I
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
