Psalms 120

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

1A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth 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.

2O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From 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?

3What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O 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.

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

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!

5Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with 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.

6Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

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

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

7I <FI>am<Fi> peace, and when I speak they <FI>are<Fi> for war!

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