Psalm 120
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.

PSALM 120
Leidvolles Leben unter Fremdherrschaft
120 Ein Wallfahrtslied[a].
Ich rief zum Herrn in meiner Not,
und er erhörte mich.
2 Herr, rette meine Seele von den Lügenmäulern,
von den falschen Zungen!
3 Was kann dir anhaben und was noch weiter tun
die falsche Zunge?
4 Sie ist wie scharfe Pfeile eines Starken
aus glühendem Ginsterholz.
5 Wehe mir, daß ich in der Fremde zu Mesech weilen,
daß ich bei den Zelten Kedars wohnen muß!
6 Lange genug hat meine Seele bei denen gewohnt,
die den Frieden hassen!
7 Ich bin für den Frieden; doch wenn ich rede,
so sind sie für den Krieg.

Psalm 120
King James Version
120 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.
