Chapter 120

120:1In my distress I called to the Lord,
and He answered me.
2"Lord, deliver me from lying lips
and a deceitful tongue."
3What will He give you,
and what will He do to you,
you deceitful tongue?
4A warrior's sharp arrows
with burning charcoal!
5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,
that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!
6I have lived too long
with those who hate peace.
7I am for peace; but when I speak,
they are for war.

Chapter 121

121:1I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
2My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.
4Indeed, the Protector of Israel
does not slumber or sleep.
5The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.
6The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.
7The Lord will protect you from all harm;
He will protect your life.
8The Lord will protect your coming and going
both now and forever.
