Psalm 120
A Song of Ascents.
1 In
my distress, I
cried to the
LORD.
He answered me.
2 Deliver
my soul, LORD,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful
tongue.
3 What
will be given
to you, and
what will be
done more to
you,
you deceitful
tongue?
4 Sharp
arrows of the
mighty,
with coals of
juniper.
5 Woe is
me, that I
live in Meshech,
that I dwell
among the tents of
Kedar!
6 My
soul has had
her dwelling too
long
with him who
hates peace.
7 I am
for peace,
but when I
speak, they are
for war.
