Psalms

Psalm 120

1 IN my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lips of the ungodly and from deceitful tongues.

3 What shall be given to you? or what shall be added to you, you deceitful tongues?

4 The arrows of the mighty are sharp; they are as hot coals of oak.

5 Woe is me, that my sojourn is prolonged, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.

7 I am for peace; but when I speak they fight with me.
