NIV
Psalms 120
- 1<pb/><e>A song of ascents.</e> <pb/><t>I call on the LORD in my distress,</t> <t>and he answers me.</t>
- 2<t>Save me, LORD,</t> <t>from lying lips</t> <t>and from deceitful tongues. <pb/></t>
- 3<t>What will he do to you,</t> <t>and what more besides,</t> <t>you deceitful tongue?</t>
- 4<t>He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,</t> <t>with burning coals of the broom bush. <pb/></t>
- 5<t>Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,</t> <t>that I live among the tents of Kedar!</t>
- 6<t>Too long have I lived</t> <t>among those who hate peace.</t>
- 7<t>I am for peace;</t> <t>but when I speak, they are for war.</t>
