Psalms 120
In My Distress I Cried to the LORD
1A Song of the Ascents. To the LORD in my distress I called, and He answered me.
2The LORD, deliver my soula from a lip of falsehood, from a deceitful tongue.
3What shall He give to you, and what shall He add to you, deceitful tongue?
4Sharpened arrows of a mighty one, with coals of brooms.
5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell with the tents of Kedar!
6Long has my soul dwelt with one who hates peace.
7I am peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
