Psalms 120

A Song of Ascents.

1In my distress I cried unto Jehovah,And he answered me. 2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,And from a deceitful tongue. 3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,Thou deceitful tongue? 4Sharp arrows of the mighty,With coals of juniper. 5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6My soul hath long had her dwellingWith him that hateth peace. 7I am for peace:But when I speak, they are for war.
