Psalms 120
Psalm 120
A Cry for Truth and Peace
A song of ascents.
1In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.23“Lord, rescue me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.”4
5What will he give you, and what will he do to you, you deceitful tongue?6
7A warrior’s sharp arrows with burning charcoal!8
9What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!10
11I have dwelt too long with those who hate peace.12
13I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.14
