Psalms 120

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

In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard 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 from a deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given to you? or what shall be done to you, you false tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul has long dwelled with him that hates peace.

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

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
