Psalm 120

A Pilgrim Song ^1-2I'm in trouble. I cry to GOD, desperate for an answer:
   "Deliver me from the liars, God!
      They smile so sweetly but lie through their teeth."

^3-4    Do you know what's next, can you see what's coming,
      all you barefaced liars?
   Pointed arrows and burning coals
      will be your reward.

^5-7    I'm doomed to live in Meshech,
      cursed with a home in Kedar,
   My whole life lived camping
      among quarreling neighbors.
   I'm all for peace, but the minute
      I tell them so, they go to war!
