120:1 | <A Song of the going up.> In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer. |
120:2 | O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit. |
120:3 | What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue? |
120:4 | Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire. |
120:5 | Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar. |
120:6 | My soul has long been living with the haters of peace. |
120:7 | I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war. |
