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.
1In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me. 2Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue. 3What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue? 4Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace. 7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
