Psalms 120
In My Distress, I Cried to the Lord
1In my distress I called to the LORD,
and he answered me. 2 Deliver me, O LORD,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you,
and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue? 4 A warrior's sharp arrows,
with glowing coals of the broom tree!
5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6 Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace. 7 I am for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war!
