Psalm 120

1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
1In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
3What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
6Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
7I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
