Psalms120

A Song of Ascents

^1•In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me. ^2•Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. ^3•What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue? ^4•Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. ^5•Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! ^6•My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace. ^7•I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
