Psalm 120

*A Song of degrees.

1  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.
