Psalm 120

Deliver Me, O Lord

1In my distress I called to the Lord ,

and he answered me.

2Deliver me, O Lord ,

from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given to you,

and what more shall be done to you,

you deceitful tongue?

4A warrior’s sharp arrows,[#Ps. 127:4; Jer. 50:9; #Ps. 45:5]

with glowing coals of the broom tree!

5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,[#Gen. 10:2; Ezek. 27:13; 38:2, 3; 39:1]

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6Too long have I had my dwelling

among those who hate peace.

7I am for peace,[#Ps. 109:4]

but when I speak, they are for war!
