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 Song of Ascents.
1In my distress I cried unto the LORD,
And he answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,
And from a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,
Thou deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty,
With coals of juniper.
5Woe is me,
That I sojourn in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6My soul hath long had her dwelling
With him that hateth peace.
7I am for peace:
But when I speak, they are for war.
