Psalms 120

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

1In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.

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

2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, Andfrom a deceitful tongue.

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

3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

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

4Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

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

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

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

6My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

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

7I amforpeace: But when I speak, they are for war.
