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.

Psalms 120
120
In My Distress I Cried to the Lord
A song of ascents.
1In my distress I cried to the Lord,
and He answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord,
from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
3What will He do to you,
and what will be added to you,
O deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior,
with burning coals of the broom tree!
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6Too long have I dwelt
among those who hate peace.
7I am in favor of peace;
but when I speak, they want war.
