Psalm 120

English Standard Version

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. (Ex 34:24; 1Ki 12:27; Isa 30:29)2 Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? (1Sa 3:17)4 A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! (Ps 45:5; Ps 127:4; Ps 140:10; Pr 25:22; Jer 50:9)5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! (Ge 10:2; Ge 25:13; So 1:5; Isa 60:7; Jer 49:28; Eze 27:13; Eze 27:21; Eze 38:2; Eze 39:1)6 Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! (Ps 109:4)

Psalm 120

King James Version

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
