PSALM 120
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Song of Ascents
1In my distress to God I cry'd,
and he gave ear to me.
2From lying lips, and guileful tongue,
O Lord, my soul set free.
3What shall be giv'n thee? or what
shall be done to thee, false tongue?
4Ev'n burning coals of juniper,
sharp arrows of the strong.
5Woe's me that I in Mesech am
a sojourner so long;
That I in tabernacles dwell
to Kedar that belong.
6My soul with him that hateth peace
hath long a dweller been.
7I am for peace; but when I speak,
for battle they are keen.

Psalm 120
A Song of degrees.
1¶ In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4Sharp 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!
6My soul has long dwelt with those that hate peace.
7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
