A Song of Ascents
1In my distress to God I cry'd,
and he gave ear to me.
2From lying lips, and guileful tongue,
O Lord, my soul set free.
3What shall be giv'n thee? or what
shall be done to thee, false tongue?
4Ev'n burning coals of juniper,
sharp arrows of the strong.
5Woe's me that I in Mesech am
a sojourner so long;
That I in tabernacles dwell
to Kedar that belong.
6My soul with him that hateth peace
hath long a dweller been.
7I am for peace; but when I speak,
for battle they are keen.

Psalm 120
120
1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.
2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.
4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.
5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.
6 The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.
8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
