- Chapter 120 -

In my distress I cried out to the Lord

1
In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.
2
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
3
What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
4
Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
5
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6
Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
7
I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
