Psalm 120 - The English Standar Version

¹ In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.

² Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

³ What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?

⁴ A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!

⁵ Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁶ Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.

⁷ I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!
