Psalm
Psalms, 120
A Song of the Ascents.*1
1 To Jehovah I called in the distress of mine, And he proceeded to answer me.
2 O Jehovah, do deliver my soul from false lips, From the tricky tongue.
3 What will one give to you, and what will one add to you, O you tricky tongue?
4 Sharpened arrows of a mighty man, Along with burning coals of the broom trees.
5 Woe to me, for I have resided as an alien in Meʹshech! I have tabernacled together with the tents of Keʹdar.
6 For too long a time my soul has tabernacled With the haters*1 of peace.

7 I stand for peace; but when I speak, They are for war.
