Psalms



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 given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
   4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
   5 Woe 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.
