PSALM 120
Prayer for Rescue from the Treacherous.
A Song of Ex 34:24; 1 Kin 12:27Ascents.
1I cried to the Lord in my trouble,
And He answered me.
2Rescue my soul, Lord, from lying lips,
From a deceitful tongue.
You deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning coals of the broom tree!
5Woe to me, for I reside in Meshech,
For I have settled among the tents of Kedar!
6Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.
7I am for peace, but when I speak,
They are for war.
