Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

120A song of ascents.a

1In my distress I called to Yahweh,

and he answered me.

2“Deliver my life, O Yahweh, from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.”

3What shall be given to you,b

and what more shall be done to you,

deceitful tongue?

4The sharpened arrows of a warrior,

with burning charcoals from broom trees.

5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

6Too long my soul has had its dwelling

near one who hates peace.

7I am for peace, but when I speak,

they are for war.
