Psalms 120

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

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

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

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?

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 Meshech, That I dwell among 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.

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

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

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