Psalm 120
A song for going up to worship.
1When I was in trouble, I cried out to the Lord,
and he answered me.
2O Lord, rescue me from lying lips
and from a deceitful tongue.
3You deceitful tongue, what can the Lord give you?
What more can he do for you?
4He will give you a warrior’s sharpened arrows and red-hot coals.
5How horrible it is to live as a foreigner in Meshech
or to stay in the tents of Kedar.
6I have lived too long with those who hate peace.
7I am for peace, but when I talk about it,
they only talk about war.

Psalms 120
120
A Prayer for Help
1When I was in trouble, I called to the LORD,
and he answered me.
2Save me, LORD,
from liars and deceivers.
3You liars, what will God do to you?
How will he punish you?
4With a soldier's sharp arrows,
with red-hot charcoal!
5Living among you is as bad as living in Meshech
or among the people of Kedar.#120.5 Meshech… Kedar: Two distant regions, whose people were regarded as savages.
6I have lived too long
with people who hate peace!
7When I speak of peace,
they are for war.
