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 Jehovah, And he answered me.

2O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, Andfrom 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, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful 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 Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

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

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

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

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