Rh :O, deliver my soul from lying lips,
 * From a deceitful tongue.
 * What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,
 * Thou deceitful tongue?
 * Sharp arrows of the mighty,
 * With coals of broom.


 * Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech,
 * That I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!
 * My soul hath full long had her dwelling
 * With him that hateth peace.
 * I am all peace;
 * But when I speak, they are for war.

A Song of Ascents.


 * I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains:
 * From whence shall my help come?
 * My help cometh from the ,
 * Who 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
 * Doth neither slumber nor sleep.


 * The is thy keeper;
 * The is thy shade upon thy right hand.
 * The sun shall not smite thee by day,
 * Nor the moon by night.


 * The shall keep thee from all evil;
 * He shall keep thy soul.
 * The shall guard thy going out and thy coming in,
 * From this time forth and for ever.

A Song of Ascents; of David.


 * I rejoiced when they said unto me:
 * 'Let us go unto the house of the .'
 * Our feet are standing
 * Within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
 * Jerusalem, that art builded
 * As a city that is compact together;
 * Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the ,
 * As a testimony unto Israel,
 * To give thanks unto the name of the.
 * For there were set thrones for judgment,
 * The thrones of the house of David.


 * Pray for the peace of Jerusalem;
 * May they 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.'
 * For the sake of the house of the our God
 * I will seek thy good.

A Song of Ascents.


 * Unto Thee I lift up mine eyes,
 * O Thou that art enthroned in the heavens.
 * Behold, as the eyes of servants unto the hand of their master,
 * As the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress;
 * So our eyes look unto the our God,
 * Until He be gracious unto us.


 * Be gracious unto us, O, be gracious unto us;
 * For we are full sated with contempt.
 * Our soul is full sated
