Psalm 120A Cry for Truth and Peace
|
|
|
|
1. In my distress I called to the Lord,
|
|
and he answered me.
|
|
|
|
2. "Lord, rescue me from lying lips
|
|
and a deceitful tongue."
|
|
|
|
3. What will he give you,
|
|
and what will he do to you,
|
|
you deceitful tongue?
|
|
|
|
4. A warrior's sharp arrows
|
|
with burning charcoal!
|
|
|
|
5. What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,
|
|
that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!
|
|
|
|
6. I have dwelt too long
|
|
with those who hate peace.
|
|
|
|
7. I am for peace; but when I speak,
|
|
they are for war.
