Psalm 120:1-7
A Song of the Ascents.*
120 I called to Jehovah in my distress,+And he answered me.+
2 O Jehovah, rescue me* from lying lipsAnd from the deceitful tongue.
3 What will He do to you, and how will He punish you,*You deceitful tongue?+
4 With sharp arrows+ of a warriorAnd burning coals+ of broomwood.
5 Woe to me, for I have lived as a foreigner in Meʹshech!+
I have been dwelling among the tents of Keʹdar.+
6 I have* been dwelling far too longWith those who hate peace.+
7 I am for peace, but when I speak,They are for war.
