Psalms 120 — AAB

In My Distress I Cried to the LORD

A song of ascents.

120Verse 1In my distress I cried to the LORD,and He answered me.^{Verse 2}Deliver my soul, O LORD,from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.^{Verse 3}What will He do to you,and what will be added to you,
O deceitful tongue?^{Verse 4}Sharp arrows will come from the warrior,with burning coals of the broom tree!^{Verse 5}Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,that I live among the tents of Kedar!^{Verse 6}Too long have I dweltamong those who hate peace.^{Verse 7}I am in favor of peace;but when I speak, they want war.
