Psalms 120— MSG

1I'm in trouble. I cry to God, desperate for an answer:

2"Deliver me from the liars, God! They smile so sweetly but lie through their teeth."

3Do you know what's next, can you see what's coming, all you barefaced liars?

4Pointed arrows and burning coals will be your reward.

5I'm doomed to live in Meshech, cursed with a home in Kedar,

6My whole life lived camping among quarreling neighbors.

7I'm all for peace, but the minute I tell them so, they go to war!
