Chapter 120

¹A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me. ²O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue! ³What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue! ⁴Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals. ⁵Wo to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar. ⁶Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace. ⁷I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
