  Psalm 121

 The Lord the Keeper of Israel.

A Song of Ascents.

1 I will alift up my eyes to bthe mountains;

From where shall my help come?

  2 My ahelp comes from the Lord,

Who bmade heaven and earth.

  3 He will not aallow your foot to slip;

He who bkeeps you will not slumber.

  4 Behold, He who keeps Israel

Will neither slumber nor sleep.

  5 The Lord is your akeeper;

The Lord is your bshade on your right hand.

  6 The asun will not smite you by day,

Nor the moon by night.

  7 The Lord will 1aprotect you from all evil;

He will keep your soul.

  8 The Lord will 1aguard your going out and your coming in

bFrom this time forth and forever.

  Psalm 122

 Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

1 I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us ago to the house of the Lord.”

  2 Our feet are standing

Within your agates, O Jerusalem,

  3 Jerusalem, that is abuilt

As a city that is bcompact together;

  4 To which the tribes ago up, even the tribes of 1the Lord

2An ordinance for Israel—

To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

  5 For there athrones were set for judgment,

The thrones of the house of David.

  6 Pray for the apeace of Jerusalem:

“May they prosper who blove you.

  7 “May peace be within your awalls,

And prosperity within your bpalaces.”

  8 For the sake of my abrothers and my friends,

I will now say, “bMay peace be within you.”

  9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,

I will aseek your good.

  Psalm 123

 Prayer for the Lord’s Help.

A Song of Ascents.

1 To You I alift up my eyes,

O You who bare enthroned in the heavens!

  2 Behold, as the eyes of aservants look to the hand of their master,

As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

So our beyes look to the Lord our God,

Until He is gracious to us.

  3 aBe gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious to us,

For we are greatly filled bwith contempt.

  4 Our soul is greatly filled

With the ascoffing of bthose who are at ease,

And with the ccontempt of the proud.
