Psalm 120 - Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

¹ Song of ascensions. I called to Jehovah in straits to me, and he will answer me.

² O Jehovah, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, from a tongue of deceit.

³ What shall be given to thee? and what shall be added to thee, thou tongue of deceit?

⁴ Arrows of the strong one sharpened with burning coals of broom.

⁵ Wo! to me that I sojourned in Mesech; I dwelt with the tents of Ke dar.

⁶ My soul dwelt much upon it with Him hating peace.

⁷ I peace: and when I shall speak, they for war.
