A Song of Ascents.
120:1In my distress I cried unto Jehovah,
And he answered me.
120:2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,
And from a deceitful tongue.
120:3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,
Thou deceitful tongue?
120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
With coals of juniper.
120:5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
120:6My soul hath long had her dwelling
With him that hateth peace.
But when I speak, they are for war.
