120:1  A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. I call out to the Lord when I’m in trouble, and he answers me.
120:2  Lord, save me from people whose lips tell lies. Save me from people whose tongues don’t tell the truth.
120:3  What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue? And what more will he do?
120:4  He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier. He will punish you with burning coals from a desert bush.
120:5  How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshek! How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar!
120:6  I have lived too long among those who hate peace.
120:7  I want peace. But when I speak, they want war.
