Psalms 120-124
Psalm 120
I call on the Lord in my distress, & He answers me. Save me, O Lord, from lying lips & from deceitful tongues. What will he do to you, & what more besides, O deceitful tongue?
He’ll punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. Wow to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I’m a man of peace. But when I speak, they’re for war.
Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven & Earth. He’ll not let your foot slip. He who watches over you will not slumber.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you. The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will not keep you from all harm. He’ll watch over your life. The Lord will watch over your coming & going both now & forevermore.
Psalm 122
I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built like a city that’s closely compacted together.
This is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, to praise the name of the Lord. According to the statute given to Israel. There the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. “May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your citadels.” For the sake of my brothers & sisters, I’ll say, “Peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I’ll seek your prosperity.
Psalm 123
I lift up my eyes to You, to You whose throne is in Heaven. As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till He shows us His mercy.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we’ve endured much contempt. We’ve endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.
Psalm 124
If the Lord hadn’t been on our side – let Israel say – if the Lord hadn’t been on our side when men attacked us. When their anger flared against us, they would’ve swallowed us alive.
The flood would’ve engulfed us, the torrent would’ve swept over us, the raging waters would’ve swept us away. Praise be to the Lord, who hasn’t let us be torn by their teeth.
We’ve escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare has been broken, & we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of Heaven & Earth.
