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

PSALM 120
1 The song of degrees. When I was set in tribulation, I cried to the Lord; and he heard me.
2Lord, deliver thou my soul from wicked lips; and from a guileful tongue.
3What shall be given to thee, either what shall be laid to thee; to a guileful [or treacherous] tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty; with coals that make desolate.
5Alas to me! for my dwelling in an alien land is made long, I dwelled with men dwelling in Kedar;
6my soul was much time a come-ling. I was peaceable with them that hated peace;
7when I spake to them, they impugned, either against-said, me with-out cause.
