<Psalms 120

[1] In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

[2] Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

[3] What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

[4] Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

[5] Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

[6] My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

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