Psalm 120
A Song of degrees.
1    In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 
2    Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 
3    What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 
4    Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 
5    Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 
6    My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 
7    I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. |
