Psalm 120

A Song of Ascents [a] – A Prayer for Deliverance

Psalm 119   ■   Psalm 121

1  In my distress, I cried to Yahweh.
    He answered me.
2 Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips,
    from a deceitful tongue.
3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you,
    you deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
    with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech,
    that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul has had her dwelling too long
    with him who hates peace.
7 I am for peace,
    but when I speak, they are for war.

  • [a]  Psalm 120:1  Or Degrees; and so through  Psalm 134

Psalm 119   ■   Psalm 121
