 I am deeply troubled; * preserve my life, O, according to your word.

Accept, O, the willing tribute of my lips, * and teach me your judgments.

My life is always in my hand, * yet I do not forget your law.

The wicked have set a trap for me, * but I have not strayed from your commandments.

Your decrees are my inheritance for ever; * truly, they are the joy of my heart.

I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes * for ever and to the end.

Psalm 121   Levavi oculos

I lift up my eyes to the hills; * from where is my help to come?

My help comes from the, * the maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved * and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.

Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel * shall neither slumber nor sleep;

The himself watches over you; * the is your shade at your right hand,

So that the sun shall not strike you by day, * nor the moon by night.

The shall preserve you from all evil; * it is he who shall keep you safe.
