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 Prayer of Someone Far from Home
A song for going up to worship.
1When I was in trouble, I called to the Lord.
And he answered me.
2Lord, save me from liars
and from those who plan evil.
3You who plan evil, what will God do to you?
How will he punish you?
4He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a warrior
and with burning coals of wood.
5How terrible it is to live in the land of Meshech.
I have to live among the people of Kedar.
6I have lived too long
with people who hate peace.
7I want peace and try to talk peace,
but they want war.
