Psalms 120

ASV(i) 1 A Song of Ascents.

In my distress I cried unto Jehovah,
And he answered me. 2 Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,
[And] from a deceitful tongue. 3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,
Thou deceitful tongue? 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
With coals of juniper. 5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul hath long had her dwelling
With him that hateth peace. 7 I am [for] peace:
But when I speak, they are for war.
