Psalms
Chapter 120
1
(119) Confident Lament of the Righteous1I called to the Lord in my distress, and he answered me.
2
Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
3
How shall he pay you back, O deceitful and lying tongue?
4
He will punish you, with arrows hardened over the glowing coals!
5
Woe is me, who lives with barbarians, and dwells amid plunderers.
6
My soul is sick of dwelling among those who hate peace;
7
I want peace, but they only think of quarrels.
