Psalms

Chapter 120

1 In my distress , I cried to Yahweh . He answered me .

2 Deliver my soul , Yahweh , from lying lips , from a deceitful tongue .

3 What will be given to you , and what will be done more to you , you deceitful tongue ?

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

5 Woe is me , that I live in Meshech , that I dwell among the tents of Kedar !

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace .

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