* In my distress I cried unto the LORD , and he heard me . * Deliver my soul , O LORD , from lying lips , and from a deceitful tongue . * What shall be given unto thee ? or what shall be done unto thee , thou false tongue ? * Sharp arrows of the mighty , with coals of juniper . * Woe is me , that I sojourn in Mesech , that I dwell in the tents of Kedar ! * My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace . * I am for peace : but when I speak , they are for war . * I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills , from whence cometh my help . * My help cometh from the LORD , which made heaven and earth . * He will not suffer thy foot to be moved : he that keepeth thee will not slumber . * Behold , he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep . * The LORD is thy keeper : the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand . * The sun shall not smite thee by day , nor the moon by night . * The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil : he shall preserve thy soul . * The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth , and even for evermore . * I was glad when they said unto me , Let us go into the house of the LORD . * Our feet shall stand within thy gates , O Jerusalem . * Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together : * Whither the tribes go up , the tribes of the LORD , unto the testimony of Israel , to give thanks unto the name of the LORD . * For there are set thrones of judgment , the thrones of the house of David . * Pray for the peace of Jerusalem : they shall prosper that love thee . * Peace be within thy walls , and prosperity within thy palaces . * For my brethren and companions ' sakes , I will now say , Peace be within thee . * Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good . * Unto thee lift I up mine eyes , O thou that dwellest in the heavens . * Behold , 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 . * Have mercy upon us , O LORD , have mercy upon us : for we are exceedingly filled with contempt . * Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease , and with the contempt of the proud . * If it had not been the LORD who was on our side , now may Israel say ;
