PSALM 120
A Song of degrees.
1 In my
distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 2 Deliver my
soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 3
What shall be givena unto thee? or what shall be done
unto thee, thou false tongue? 4 Sharpb arrows of the
mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Woe is
me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7 I am for
peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
