Psalms 120

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

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

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