Psalm 120
Ad Dominum
1 WHEN I was in trouble I called upon the Lord * and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips * and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What reward shall be given or done unto thee, thou false tongue * even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals.
4 Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech * and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar.
5 My soul hath long dwelt among them * that are enemies unto peace.
6 I labour for peace, but when I speak unto them thereof * they make them ready to battle.
