Psalm 120

120:1

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

120:2

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

120:3

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

120:4

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

120:5

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

120:6

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

120:7

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
