Psalms

120

Christian Standard Bible

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.

2 “LORD, rescue me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.”

3 What will he give you, and what will he do to you, you deceitful tongue?

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows with burning charcoal!

5 What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

6 I have dwelt too long with those who hate peace.

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