Psalm 120
Young's Literal Translation
120 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.
2 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!
3 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!
4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.
5 Wo to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.
6 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.
7 I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!

A song of ascents.
1 I call on the Lord(A) in my distress,(B)
and he answers me.

from lying lips(C)
and from deceitful tongues.(D)

and what more besides,
you deceitful tongue?

with burning coals of the broom bush.

that I live among the tents of Kedar!(F)

among those who hate peace.

but when I speak, they are for war.
