Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he answered me.

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

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

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

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

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

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

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

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

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 I am [for] peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
