Psalm 120

Psalm CXX.

* A Song of degrees.

In amy distress I cried unto the Lord,

And he heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,

* And from a deceitful tongue.

3 * What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be * done unto thee,

Thou false tongue?

4 * bSharp arrows of the cmighty,

With coals of ejuniper.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in fMesech,

That I dwell in the tents of gKedar!

6 My soul hath hlong dwelt

With him that hateth peace.

7 iI am * for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
