Psalms 120

In My Distress I Cried to the LORD

A song of ascents.

1Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

2What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

3Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

4Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

5Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

6I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
