2
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.
3
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7
I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
topoPsalm 121
2
My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5
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.
8
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

2
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5
For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7
Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy palaces.
8
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee.
9
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
topoPsalm 123
2
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.
3
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, [and] with the contempt of the proud.
topoPsalm 124
2
If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6
Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8
Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
topoPsalm 125
2
As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4
Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that are] upright in their hearts.
5
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
topoPsalm 126
2
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
3
The LORD hath done great things for us [whereof] we are glad.
4
Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.
5
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves [with him].
topoPsalm 127
2
[It is] vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3
Lo, children [are] an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.
4
As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man so [are] children of the youth.
5
Happy [is] the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
topoRomans 12
1-16
1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.
2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5
So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith
7
Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching
8
Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, [let him do it] with simplicity he that ruleth, with diligence he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9
[Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil cleave to that which is good.
10
[Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love in honour preferring one another
11
Not slothful in business fervent in spirit serving the Lord
12
Rejoicing in hope patient in tribulation continuing instant in prayer
13
Distributing to the necessity of saints given to hospitality.
14
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16
[Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
