# Chapter 120
1 I took my troubles to the Lord;
    I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
2 Rescue me, O Lord, from liars
    and from all deceitful people.
3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?
    How will he increase your punishment?
4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows
    and burned with glowing coals.
5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech.
    It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
6 I am tired of living
    among people who hate peace.
7 I search for peace;
    but when I speak of peace, they want war!
