Psalms 120

   |   

A song for going up to the Temple.

1 I was in trouble.
    I called to the Lord for help,
    and he answered me!
2 I said, "Lord, save me from liars,
    from those who say things that are not true."

3 Liars, do you know what the Lord has for you?
    Do you know what you will get?
4 You will get a soldier's sharp arrow
    and hot coals to punish you.

5 How I hate living here among these people!
    It's like living in Meshech or in the tents of Kedar.[a]
6 I have lived too long
    with those who hate peace.
7 I ask for peace,
    but they want war.
