Psalms 120

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7I <FI>am<Fi> peace, and when I speak they <FI>are<Fi> 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.

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