<Psalms 120

[1] In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.

[2] Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

[3] What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?

[4] A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!

[5] Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

[6] Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.

[7] I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!
