1 In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me:

2 "Lord, deliver me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue."

3 What will He give you, and what will He do to you, you deceitful tongue?

4 A warrior's sharp arrows, with burning charcoal!

5 What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

6 I have lived too long with those who hate peace.

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

1 I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from?

2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 Indeed, the Protector of Israel does not slumber or sleep.

5 The Lord protects you; the Lord is a shelter right by your side.

6 The sun will not strike you by day, or the moon by night.

7 The Lord will protect you from all harm; He will protect your life.

8 The Lord will protect your coming and going both now and forever.

1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord."

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem-

3 Jerusalem, built as a city [should be], solidly joined together,

4 where the tribes, the tribes of the Lord, go up to give thanks to the name of the Lord. (This is an ordinance for Israel.)

5 There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.

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

7 may there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your fortresses."

8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you."

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
