Psalm 120

English Standard Version Anglicised

120 In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
² Deliver me, O Lord,
    from lying lips,
    from a deceitful tongue.
³ What shall be given to you,
    ^(B)and what more shall be done to you,
    you deceitful tongue?
^4 (C)A warrior's ^(D)sharp arrows,
    with glowing ^(E)coals of the broom tree!
⁵ Woe to me, that I sojourn in ^(F)Meshech,
    that I dwell among ^(G)the tents of ^(H)Kedar!
⁶ Too long have I had my dwelling
    among those who hate peace.
^7 (I)I am for peace,
    but when I speak, they are for war!
