A Song of Ascents.

120:1 In my distress, I cried to Yahweh.

He answered me.

120:2 Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.

120:3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you,

you deceitful tongue?

120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,

with coals of juniper.

120:5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech,

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

120:6 My soul has had her dwelling too long

with him who hates peace.

120:7 I am for peace,

but when I speak, they are for war.
