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
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.
1I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.
2Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!
3What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?
4With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.
5I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.#120:5. Far-off places, very distant from each other.
6I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.
7I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.
