←Prev   Psalms 120 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



120:1  A song to sing as we climb. I cried to the Lord to help me in my trouble. He answered me.
120:2  I prayed, ‘Lord, keep me safe from people who tell lies. Save me from people who want to deceive me.’
120:3  How will God punish you, you people who deceive others? He will punish you properly!
120:4  Yes, the sharp arrows of a soldier will hurt you. They will give you pain, like wood that burns with fire.
120:5  I am so sad! I live in Meshek as a stranger. I live among the people of Kedar.
120:6  I have lived too long with people that hate peace.
120:7  I want to live here in peace. But when I say this, they only want war!
