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? {What shall be given...: or, What shall the deceitful tongue give unto thee? or, what shall it profit thee?} {done: Heb. added} 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. {Sharp...: or, It is as the sharp arrows of the mighty man, 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. {for peace: or, a man of peace}
