Psalm 120

New International Version

from Biblica

A song of ascents.

1 I call on the Lord in my distress, and he answers me. 

2 Save me, Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. 

3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? 

4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. 

5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar! 

6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. 

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