Psalms 120

1In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

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

2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

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

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

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

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

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

6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

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

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