Psalms 120

1 In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

1 In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

2O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

3What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

4Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

5Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

6My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

7 I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.

7I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
