Psalm 120

¹A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

²Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

³What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

⁴It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

⁵Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

⁶My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

⁷I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
