Psalm 120

In my distress I cried to the LORD,
and He answered me.

Deliver my soul, O LORD,
from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

What will He do to you,
and what will be added to you,
O deceitful tongue?

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior,
with burning coals of the broom tree!

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!

Too long have I dwelt
among those who hate peace.

I am in favor of peace;
but when I speak, they want war.
