Psalm 120

English Standard Version

from Crossway
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? (1Sa 3:17) 4 A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! (Ps 45:5; Ps 127:4; Ps 140:10; Pr 25:22; Jer 50:9) 5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! (Ge 10:2; Ge 25:13; So 1:5; Isa 60:7; Jer 49:28; Eze 27:13; Eze 27:21; Eze 38:2; Eze 38:3; Eze 39:1) 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! (Ps 109:4)

Psalm 120

Louis Segond 1910

1 Cantique des degrés. Dans ma détresse, c'est à l'Éternel Que je crie, et il m'exauce. 2 Éternel, délivre mon âme de la lèvre mensongère, De la langue trompeuse! 3 Que te donne, que te rapporte Une langue trompeuse? 4 Les traits aigus du guerrier, Avec les charbons ardents du genêt. 5 Malheureux que je suis de séjourner à Méschec, D'habiter parmi les tentes de Kédar! 6 Assez longtemps mon âme a demeuré Auprès de ceux qui haïssent la paix. 7 Je suis pour la paix; mais dès que je parle, Ils sont pour la guerre.
