Psalm 120

Psalm 120

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

1 I call out to the Lord when I’m in trouble,
    and he answers me.
2 Lord, save me from people whose lips tell lies.
    Save me from people whose tongues don’t tell the truth.

3 What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue?
    And what more will he do?
4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier.
    He will punish you with burning coals from a desert bush.

5 How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshek!
    How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar!
6 I have lived too long
    among those who hate peace.
7 I want peace.
    But when I speak, they want war.
