- Chapter 120 -

In my distress I cried out to the Lord

1
A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.
2
Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.
3
What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?
4
It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.
5
Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.
6
My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7
I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.

In my distress I cried out to the Lord

1
In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
2
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
