Psalmen 120

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