Psalms 120

Prayer for Rescue from the Treacherous.

A Song of Ex 34:24; 1 Kin 12:27Ascents.

11I cried to the Lord in my trouble, And He answered me.2Rescue my soul, Lord, from 2lying lips, From a 3deceitful tongue.3What will He give to you, and what more will He do to you, You 4deceitful tongue?45Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the burning 6coals of the broom tree!

5Woe to me, for I reside in 7Meshech, For I have settled among the 8tents of 9Kedar!6Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who 10hate peace.7I 11am for peace, but when I speak, They are 12for war.
