Psalm 120

<<A Song of degrees.>>

 

 Ps 120:1 ¶ In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

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

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

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

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

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

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