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
Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
A song of ascents.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1In my distress I called to Yahweh,
and he answered me.
2“Deliver my life, O Yahweh, from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.”
3What shall be given to you,#That is, by God against the false accuser
and what more shall be done to you,
deceitful tongue?
4The sharpened arrows of a warrior,
with burning charcoals from broom trees.
5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.
6Too long my soul has had its dwelling
near one who hates peace.
7I am for peace, but when I speak,
they are for war.
