Chapter 120

A Song of degrees.

1

IN my distress I cried unto El-Yahuah, and he heard me.

2

Deliver my soul, O Yahuah, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3

What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?

4

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshek, that I dwell in the tents of Qedar!

6

My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.

7

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
