Psalms 120— CEB

11 I cried out to the LORD when I was in trouble (and he answered me):

2"LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a dishonest tongue!"

3What more will be given to you, what more will be done to you, you dishonest tongue?

4Just this: a warrior's sharpened arrows, coupled with burning coals from a wood fire!

5Oh, I'm doomed because I have been an immigrant in Meshech, because I've made my home among Kedar's tents.

6I've lived far too long with people who hate peace.

7I'm for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
