Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto 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 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more 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 the mighty, with coals of broom.

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

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

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

6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

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

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

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