Psalm 120

¹ A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.

² Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, And from a deceitful tongue.

³ What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

⁴ Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

⁵ Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁶ My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

⁷ I am for peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
