Psalm chapter 120
English Standard Version
1 In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. 2Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? 4 A warrior 's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! 5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. 7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!

1 I cried to the Lord in my trouble, And He answered me. 2Rescue my soul, Lord, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue. 3What will He give to you, and what more will He do to you, You deceitful tongue? 4Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the burning coals of the broom tree! 5Woe to me, for I reside in Meshech, For I have settled among the tents of Kedar! 6Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who hate peace. 7I am for peace, but when I speak, They are for war.
