Psalm 120

A Song of degrees.

120:1

¶ In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

120:2

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

120:3

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

120:4

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

120:5

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

120:6

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

120:7

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