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!

Psalm 120
English Standard Version

Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

120 In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
2 Deliver me, O Lord,
    from lying lips,
    from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you,
    (B)and what more shall be done to you,
    you deceitful tongue?
4 (C)A warrior's (D)sharp arrows,
    with glowing (E)coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in (F)Meshech,
    that I dwell among (G)the tents of (H)Kedar!
6 Too long have I had my dwelling
    among those who hate peace.
7 (I)I am for peace,
    but when I speak, they are for war!
