Psalms 120




1.  <<A Song of degrees.>> In my distress I cried * unto the LORD, and he heard * me.

2.  Deliver * my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3.  What shall be given * unto thee? or what shall be done * unto thee, thou false tongue?

4.  Sharp * arrows of the mighty,with coals of juniper.

5.  Woe is me, that I sojourn * in Mesech, that I dwell * in the tents of Kedar !

6.  My soul hath long dwelt * with him that hateth * peace.

7.  I am for peace: but when I speak * , they are for war.
