A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me

The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 120. A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me. Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue? Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar! My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.

A Song of Ascents
In my distress, I cried to the LORD
He answered me
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue
What will be given to you
And what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war
