Psalm 120 (NRSV)
1In
my distress I cry to the LORD,
that he may answer me:
2"Deliver
me, O LORD,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue."
3What
shall be given to you?
And what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful
tongue?
4A warrior's sharp arrows,
with glowing coals
of the broom tree!
5Woe is me, that I am an alien in Meshech,
that I must live among the tents of Kedar.
6Too long have
I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.
7I am for
peace;
but when I speak,
they are for war.
