Psalm 120
  
  
    
    
  
  1
  
  
  
    In  a my distress I cried to the LORD, 
 And He heard me.
  
  
  
  2
  
  
  
    Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips 
 And from a deceitful tongue.
  
    
  
    
  
  3
  
  
  
    What shall be given to you, 
 Or what shall be done to you, 
 You false tongue?
  
  
  
  4
  
  
  
    Sharp arrows of the   warrior, 
 With coals of the broom tree!
  
    
  
    
  
  5
  
  
  
    Woe is me, that I dwell in  b Meshech, 
  c That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
  
  
  
  6
  
  
  
    My soul has dwelt too long 
 With one who hates peace.
  
  
  
  7
  
  
  
    I am for peace; 
 But when I speak, they are for war.
