1 | (Psalm 120 A Song of Ascents.)In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me. |
2 | Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue. |
3 | What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue? |
4 | Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper. |
5 | Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! |
6 | My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace. |
7 | I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war. |
