Psalm 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!
