Psalms 120

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

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 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 mighty, with coals of juniper.

5Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with 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 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 speak, they are for war.
