Psalm 120

A Cry for Truth and Peace

A song of ascents.

1In my distress I called to the Lord,

and He answered me. l

2“Lord, deliver me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.” m

3What will He give you,

and what will He do to you,

you deceitful tongue? n

4A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal! op

5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, qr

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar! st

6I have lived too long

with those who hate peace. u

7I am for peace; but when I speak,

they are for war. v
