Psalm 120 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

PSALM 120

A Song of Ascents

¹ In my distress to God I cry'd, and he gave ear to me.

² From lying lips, and guileful tongue, O Lord, my soul set free.

³ What shall be giv'n thee? or what shall be done to thee, false tongue?

⁴ Ev'n burning coals of juniper, sharp arrows of the strong.

⁵ Woe's me that I in Mesech am a sojourner so long; That I in tabernacles dwell to Kedar that belong.

⁶ My soul with him that hateth peace hath long a dweller been.

⁷ I am for peace; but when I speak, for battle they are keen.
