Psalms 120 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised（CSBA）

A Cry for Truth and PeaceA song of ascents.

1In my distress I called to the  Lord,

and he answered me. 

2‘Lord, rescue me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.’ 

3What will he give you,

and what will he do to you,

you deceitful tongue? 

4A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal!  ,

5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,  ,

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!  ,

6I have dwelt too long

with those who hate peace. 

7I am for peace; but when I speak,

they are for war.
