←Prev   Psalms 120 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



120:1  1 The prayer of David being vexed by the false reports of Saul’s flatterers. 5 And therefore he lamenteth his long abode among those infidels,  7 Who were given to all kinds of wickedness and contention. A song of degrees. I called unto the Lord in my trouble, and he heard me.
120:2  Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
120:3  What doth thy deceitful tongue bring unto thee? or what doth it avail thee?
120:4  It is as the sharp arrows of a mighty man, and as the coals of Juniper.
120:5  Woe is to me that I remain in Meshech, and dwell in the tents of Kedar.
120:6  My soul hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
120:7  I seek peace, and when I speak thereof, they are bent to war.
