Psalms 120

1 When I was in trouble, I called to the Lord, and he answered me.

2 Save me, Lord, from liars and deceivers.

3 You liars, what will God do to you? How will he punish you?

4 With a soldier's sharp arrows, with red-hot coals!

5 Living among you is as bad as living in Meshech or among the people of Kedar.

6 I have lived too long with people who hate peace!

7 When I speak of peace, they are for war.

Psalms 121

1 I look to the mountains; where will my help come from?

2 My help will come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 He will not let you fall; your protector is always awake.

4 The protector of Israel never dozes or sleeps.

5 The Lord will guard you; he is by your side to protect you.

6 The sun will not hurt you during the day, nor the moon during the night.

7 The Lord will protect you from all danger; he will keep you safe.

8 He will protect you as you come and go now and forever.

Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the Lord's house."

2 And now we are here, standing inside the gates of Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is a city restored in beautiful order and harmony.

4 This is where the tribes come, the tribes of Israel, to give thanks to the Lord according to his command.

5 Here the kings of Israel sat to judge their people.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you prosper.

7 May there be peace inside your walls and safety in your palaces."

8 For the sake of my relatives and friends I say to Jerusalem, "Peace be with you!"

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God I pray for your prosperity.
