Psalms Chapter 120 – David prayeth for deliverance from the wicked. (A Song of degrees.)

1 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.
