Psalm 120

Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.

A Song of Ascents.

In my trouble I cried to the Lord,
And He answered me.
2
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,
From a deceitful tongue.
3
What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,
You deceitful tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning coals of the broom tree.

5
Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6
Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.
7
I am for peace, but when I speak,
They are for war.
