Psalm 120

A Song of Ascents.

1 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.
