PSALM 120

1I call on the Lord in my distress, and he answers me.

2Save me, O Lord , from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.

3What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue?

4He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree.

5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.

7I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
