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.
