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. Unto Yahweh, in the distress that befell me, I cried—and he answered me.

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

O Yahweh! rescue thou my soul—from the false lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given to thee, and what shall be added to thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

The arrows of the hero sharpened, with burning coals of broom.

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

Woe is me, That I sojourn in Meshek, —That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

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

Long, hath my soul had her dwelling with him that hateth peace:

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

I, am for peace, and verily I speak, They, are for war!
