Psalm 120

¹I call on the Lord in my distress,

and he answers me.

²Save me, Lord ,

from lying lips

and from deceitful tongues.

³What will he do to you,

and what more besides,

you deceitful tongue?

⁴He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,

with burning coals of the broom bush.

⁵Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,

that I live among the tents of Kedar!

⁶Too long have I lived

among those who hate peace.

⁷I am for peace;

but when I speak, they are for war.
