¹(121) A Song of Degrees. I lifted up my eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

¹In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

²My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

²Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

³Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

³What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

⁴Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

⁴Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

⁵The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

⁵Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

⁶The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

⁶My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

⁷May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

⁷I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
