Psalm 121

¹I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
²My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
³He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
⁴Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
⁵The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
⁶The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
⁷The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
⁸The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Psalm 122

¹I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
²Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
³Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
⁴Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
⁵For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
⁷Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
⁸For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
⁹Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

¹²I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
¹³And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
¹⁴The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
¹⁵But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The Lord of hosts is his name.
¹⁶And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

¹⁷This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
¹⁸Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
¹⁹Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
²⁰But ye have not so learned Christ;
²¹If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
²²That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
²³And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
²⁴And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
²⁵Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
²⁶Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
²⁷Neither give place to the devil.
²⁸Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
²⁹Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
³⁰And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
³²And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
