Psalm 120
A Cry for Truth and Peace
A song of ascents.
1 In my distress I called to the Lord,
and He answered me.(a)
2 "Lord, deliver me from lying lips
and a deceitful tongue."(b)
3 What will He give you,
and what will He do to you,
you deceitful tongue?(c)
4 A warrior's sharp arrows
with burning charcoal![a](d)
5 What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,[b](e)
that I have lived among the tents of Kedar![c](f)
6 I have lived too long
with those who hate peace.(g)
7 I am for peace; but when I speak,
they are for war.(h)
