New American Standard Bible (1995)

Psalms 120

   |   

Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.

A Song of [a]Ascents.

1 (a)In my trouble I cried to the Lord,
And He answered me.
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from (b)lying lips,
From a (c)deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,
You (d)deceitful tongue?
4 (e)Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning (f)coals of the broom tree.

5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in (g)Meshech,
For I dwell among the (h)tents of (i)Kedar!
6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who (j)hate peace.
7 I (k)am for peace, but when I speak,
They are (l)for war.
