107I am deeply troubled; *
preserve my life, O Lord, according to your word.

108Accept, O Lord, the willing tribute of my lips, *
and teach me your judgments.

109My life is always in my hand, *
yet I do not forget your law.

110The wicked have set a trap for me, *
but I have not strayed from your commandments.

111Your decrees are my inheritance for ever; *
truly, they are the joy of my heart.

112I have applied my heart to fulfill your statutes *
for ever and to the end.

Psalm 121   Levavi oculos

1I lift up my eyes to the hills; *
from where is my help to come?

2My help comes from the Lord, *
the maker of heaven and earth.

3He will not let your foot be moved *
and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.

4Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel *
shall neither slumber nor sleep;

5The Lord himself watches over you; *
the Lord is your shade at your right hand,

6So that the sun shall not strike you by day, *
nor the moon by night.

7The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; *
it is he who shall keep you safe.
