Psalms 120— HCSB

1[A song of ascents.] In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me:

2"LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue."

3What will He give you, and what will He do to you, you deceitful tongue?

4A warrior's sharp arrows, with burning charcoal!

5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

6I have lived too long with those who hate peace.

7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
