←Prev   Psalms 120 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


120:1  A song of ascents. Whenever I am in distress, I cry out to the Lord and he answers me.
120:2  Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
120:3  What will he inflict upon you, and what more will he add to it, O deceitful tongue?
120:4  He has prepared a warrior’s sharp arrows and red-hot coals of the broom tree.
120:5  Why have I been doomed as an exile in Meshech and forced to dwell among the tents of Kedar?
120:6  Far too long have I lived among people who despise peace.
120:7  When I proclaim peace, they shout for war.
