Psalm 120
Authorized (King James) Version

Psalm 120

A Song of degrees.

1 In 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.

New King James Version

Plea for Relief from Bitter Foes

A Song of Ascents.

120 In (A)my distress I cried to 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 to you,
Or what shall be done to you,
You false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the [a]warrior,
With coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe is me, that I dwell in (B)Meshech,
(C)That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul has dwelt too long
With one who hates peace.
7 I am for peace;
But when I speak, they are for war.

Salmos 120
Reina-Valera 1960

Plegaria ante el peligro de la lengua engañosa

Cántico gradual.

120 A Jehová clamé estando en angustia,

Y él me respondió.

2 Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, del labio mentiroso,

Y de la lengua fraudulenta.

3 ¿Qué te dará, o qué te aprovechará,

Oh lengua engañosa?

4 Agudas saetas de valiente,

Con brasas de enebro.

5 ¡Ay de mí, que moro en Mesec,

Y habito entre las tiendas de Cedar!

6 Mucho tiempo ha morado mi alma

Con los que aborrecen la paz.

7 Yo soy pacífico;

Mas ellos, así que hablo, me hacen guerra.
