Psalms 120

Psalms · Thomson 1808 · public domain

1IN my distress I cried to the Lord; and He hearkened to me.

2O Lord, deliver my soul from false lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3What should be given Thee? Or what return made Thee for a deceitful tongue?

4Arrows of the mighty sharpened with devouring coals.

5Ah woe is me that my sojourn is so long protracted—That I have dwelt with the tents of Kedar—

6That my soul hath so long dwelt with them, who hate peace.

7I was for peace; but when I spoke they attacked me without provocation.
