Psalms 120

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

[the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.

3 What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.

4 Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.

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

Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.

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

Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.

7 I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.
