1 When I was in trouble, I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me.

2 O LORD, rescue me from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.

3 You deceitful tongue, what can the LORD give you? What more can he do for you?

4 He will give you a warrior's sharpened arrows and red-hot coals.

5 How horrible it is to live as a foreigner in Meshech or to stay in the tents of Kedar.

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

7 I am for peace, but when I talk about it, they only talk about war.

1 I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help?

2 My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let you fall. Your guardian will not fall asleep.

4 Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps.

5 The LORD is your guardian. The LORD is the shade over your right hand.

6 The sun will not beat down on you during the day, nor will the moon at night.

7 The LORD guards you from every evil. He guards your life.

8 The LORD guards you as you come and go, now and forever.

1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to the house of the LORD."

2 Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built to be a city where the people are united.

4 All of the LORD's tribes go to that city because it is a law in Israel to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 The court of justice sits there. It consists of [princes who are] David's descendants.

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

7 May there be peace inside your walls and prosperity in your palaces."

8 For the sake of my relatives and friends, let me say, "May it go well for you!"

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is good for you.
