Psalms 120 / 150
- 1
(Deliver Me, O Lord)A Song of Ascents.
In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
- 2
Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.
- 3
What shall be given to you,
and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue?
- 4
A warrior's sharp arrows,
with glowing coals of the broom tree!
- 5
Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
- 6
Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.
- 7
I am for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war!
