Psalms 120

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

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

5Woe 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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