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

¹A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

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

²Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

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

³What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful 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 live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

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

⁶My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates 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.
