119:171My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

119:172My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.

119:173Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

119:174I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.

119:175Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

119:176I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

120:1(A Song of degrees.) In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

120:2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

120:3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

120:4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

120:5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

120:6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

120:7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

121:1(A Song of degrees.) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

121:2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

121:3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

121:4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

121:5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

121:6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

121:7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

121:8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

122:1(A Song of degrees of David.) I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

122:2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

122:3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

122:4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

122:5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

122:6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

122:7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

122:8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

122:9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

123:1(A Song of degrees.) Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

123:2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

123:3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

123:4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

124:1(A Song of degrees of David.) If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

124:2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

124:3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

124:4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

124:5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

124:6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

124:7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

124:8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

125:1(A Song of degrees.) They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

125:2As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

125:3For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

125:4Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

125:5As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.

126:1(A Song of degrees.) When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

126:2Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.

126:3The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
