Psalms 120

Prayer for deliverance from the treacherous.

A Song of Ascents.

¹A Song of Ascents.

²In my distress I cry to the LORD, that he may answer me:

³"Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue."

⁴What shall be given to you? And what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?

⁵A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!

⁶Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁷Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. [ (Psalms 120:8) I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war! ]
