| Psa. 120:1 |
In my distress I called out to Jehovah, / And He answered me. |
| Psa. 120:2 |
O Jehovah, deliver my soul from lying lips, / From a tongue of deceit. |
| Psa. 120:3 |
What should be given to you, / And what further shall be done to you, / O tongue of deceit? |
| Psa. 120:4 |
The sharp arrows of a mighty man, / With the [burning] coals of the broom tree! |
| Psa. 120:5 |
Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, / I dwell among the tents of Kedar. |
| Psa. 120:6 |
Long has my soul had its dwelling / With him who hates peace. |
| Psa. 120:7 |
I am [for] peace; but when I speak, / They are for war. |
