Psalm 120

ESV

Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of Ascents.

¹In my distress I called to the Lord,

and he answered me.

²Deliver me, O Lord,

from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.

³What shall be given to you,

and what more shall be done to you,

you deceitful tongue?

⁴A warrior's sharp arrows,

with glowing coals of the broom tree!

⁵Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁶Too long have I had my dwelling

among those who hate peace.

⁷I am for peace,

but when I speak, they are for war!
