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.

A Prayer for the Lord's Help
1When I am in trouble, I pray,
2“Come and save me, Lord,
from deceitful liars!”
3What punishment is fitting
for you deceitful liars?
4Your reward should be
sharp and flaming arrows!
5But I must live as a foreigner
among the people of Meshech
and in the tents of Kedar.#120.5 Meshech … Kedar: Meshech was a country near the Black Sea, and Kedar was a tribe of the Syrian desert.
6I have spent too much time
living among people
who hate peace.
7I am in favor of peace,
but when I speak of it,
all they want is war.
