Psalm 120

^{Tools
1} I cried to the LORD in my distress, and he responded to me. ^{Tools
2} "LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive."

^{Tools
3} What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? ^{Tools
4} Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees!

^{Tools
5} How terrible for me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I reside among the tents of Kedar! ^{Tools
6} I have resided too long with those who hate peace. ^{Tools
7} I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they are in favor of war. A Song of Ascents
