120:1 [A Song of Ascents]. In my trouble I cried to the LORD, And He answered me. 120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue. 120:3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, You deceitful tongue? 120:4 Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the [burning] coals of the broom tree. 120:5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, For I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 120:6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who hate peace. 120:7 I am [for] peace, but when I speak, They are for war.
