Psalm 120

A Song of Ascents.

1 In my distress I cry to the Lord,

that he may answer me:

2 “Deliver me, O Lord,

from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.”

3 What shall be given to you?

And what more shall be done to you,

you deceitful tongue?

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows,

with glowing coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe is me, that I am an alien in Meshech,

that I must live among the tents of Kedar.

6 Too long have I had my dwelling

among those who hate peace.

7 I am for peace;

but when I speak,

they are for war.
