Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

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

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

3 What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

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

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
