Psalm 120:1-Psalm 121:1 - A Cry For Truth And Peace

¹ A Song of Ascents.
In my trouble I cried to the Lord,
And He answered me.
² Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,
From a deceitful tongue.

³ What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,
You deceitful tongue?
⁴ Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning coals of the broom tree.

⁵ Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
⁶ Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.
⁷ I am for peace, but when I speak,
They are for war.

¹ A Song of Ascents.
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
