A song of ascents
120
📚In my distress I cried out
to the LORD, and he heard me.
2 📚Rescue my soul, O LORD,
from lying lips,
and from a deceitful
tongue.
3 📚What shall be given to you?
or what shall be done to you,
you false tongue?
4 📚Sharp arrows of the mighty,
with coals of fire
of the broom tree!
5 📚Woe is me, that I live
in Meshech,
that I dwell in the tents
of Kedar!
6 📚My soul has dwelt too long
with him who
hates peace.
7 📚I am for peace:
but when I speak,
they are for war.
