English Standard Version

Psalms 120

   |   

Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of (a)Ascents.

1 In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
2 Deliver me, O Lord,
    from lying lips,
    from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you,
    (b)and what more shall be done to you,
    you deceitful tongue?
4 (c)A warrior's (d)sharp arrows,
    with glowing (e)coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in (f)Meshech,
    that I dwell among (g)the tents of (h)Kedar!
6 Too long have I had my dwelling
    among those who hate peace.
7 (i)I am for peace,
    but when I speak, they are for war!
