Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

[the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.

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

O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.

3 What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?

What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.

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

Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.

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

Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.

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

I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.
