< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he answered me. 2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, 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.
