Psalms 120 — FBV

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem.

120Verse 1I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.
^{Verse 2}Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!
^{Verse 3}What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?
^{Verse 4}With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.
^{Verse 5}I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.^{+
Verse 6}I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.
^{Verse 7}I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.
