Psalms 120

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

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

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

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
