Psalm 120

A Cry for Truth and Peace

A * song of ascents.

In my distress I called to the Lord,

and He answered me. l

Lord, deliver me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.” m

What will He give you,

and what will He do to you,

you deceitful tongue? n

A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal! o p

What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, q r

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar! s t

I have lived too long

with those who hate peace. u

I am for peace; but when I speak,

they are for war. v

About The Holman Christian Standard Bible

The complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form.

Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader.

Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him.
