Psalm 121
The Lord Our Protector
A song of ascents.
1 I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?(A)
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.(B)
3 He will not allow your foot to slip;
your Protector will not slumber.(C)
4 Indeed, the Protector of Israel
does not slumber or sleep.(D)
5 The Lord protects you;
the Lord is a shelter right by your side.[a](E)
6 The sun will not strike you by day
or the moon by night.(F)
7 The Lord will protect you from all harm;
He will protect your life.(G)
8 The Lord will protect your coming and going
both now and forever.(H)
Psalm 122
A Prayer for Jerusalem
A Davidic song of ascents.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”(I)
2 Our feet are standing
within your gates, Jerusalem(J)—
3 Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly joined together,(K)
4 where the tribes, Yahweh’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.(L)
(This is an ordinance for Israel.(M))
5 There, thrones for judgment are placed,
thrones of the house of David.(N)
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper;(O)
7 may there be peace within your walls,
prosperity within your fortresses.”(P)
8 Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, “Peace be with you.”(Q)
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.(R)
