Psalm 120

Psalm 120 (New International Version, ©2011)

Psalm 120

A song of ascents. ¹ I call on the LORD in my distress,
   and he answers me.
² Save me, LORD,
   from lying lips
   and from deceitful tongues.
 ³ What will he do to you,
   and what more besides,
   you deceitful tongue?
⁴ He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
   with burning coals of the broom bush.
 ⁵ Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
   that I live among the tents of Kedar!
⁶ Too long have I lived
   among those who hate peace.
⁷ I am for peace;
   but when I speak, they are for war.
