1 A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.2 O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.3 What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?4 Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.5 Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.6 My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.7 I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.

1 Canticum graduum. [Levavi oculos meos in montes,unde veniet auxilium mihi.2 Auxilium meum a Domino,qui fecit clum et terram.3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum,neque dormitet qui custodit te.4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormietqui custodit Isral.5 Dominus custodit te ;Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.6 Per diem sol non uret te,neque luna per noctem.7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo ;custodiat animam tuam Dominus.8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum,ex hoc nunc et usque in sculum.]
