The Holy Bible

King James Version

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 120

  

A Prayer for Truth and Peace by a Man of God

A Song of degrees.

1In my distress I cried unto the Lord,
and he heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,
and from a deceitful tongue.   3 What shall be given unto thee?
or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
with coals of juniper.   5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,
that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul hath long dwelt with him
that hateth peace. 7 I am for peace:
but when I speak, they are for war.
