< Psalms 120 >

1 [the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.
In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.
What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?
4 Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.
My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.
7 I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
