Psalms 120

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

A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

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

O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

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

What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

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

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.

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

Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

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

Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

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

I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
