Psalm 120



Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of Ascents.

120:1  In my distress I called to the Lord ,
and he answered me.
Deliver me, O Lord ,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.

What shall be given to you,
and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue?
A warrior's sharp arrows,
with glowing coals of the broom tree!

Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.
I am for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war!
