1 When I was in trouble I called to the Lord; ♦︎
I called to the Lord and he answered me.
2 Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips ♦︎
and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you? ♦︎
What more shall be done to you, deceitful tongue?
4 The sharp arrows of a warrior, ♦︎
tempered in burning coals!
5 Woe is me, that I must lodge in Meshech ♦︎
and dwell among the tents of Kedar.
6 My soul has dwelt too long ♦︎
with enemies of peace.
7 I am for making peace, ♦︎
but when I speak of it, they make ready for war.
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills; ♦︎
from where is my help to come?
2 My help comes from the Lord, ♦︎
the maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer your foot to stumble; ♦︎
he who watches over you will not sleep.
4 Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel ♦︎
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord himself watches over you; ♦︎
the Lord is your shade at your right hand,
6 So that the sun shall not strike you by day, ♦︎
neither the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall keep you from all evil; ♦︎
it is he who shall keep your soul.
8 The Lord shall keep watch over your going out
and your coming in, ♦︎
from this time forth for evermore.

23 All things are lawful, but not all things are beneficial. All things are lawful, but not all things build up. 24Do not seek your own advantage, but that of others. 25Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience, 26for the earth and its fullness are the Lords. 27If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. 28But if someone says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, then do not eat it, out of consideration for the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience 29I mean the others conscience, not your own. For why should my liberty be subject to the judgement of someone elses conscience? 30If I partake with thankfulness, why should I be denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.
32Give no offence to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God,
33just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, so that they may be saved.
111Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
