Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

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

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

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

6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

7 I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.

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