Psalms 120 - Tree of Life Version(TLV)

I Am for Shalom

1A Song of Ascents. In my trouble I cried out to Adonai

, and He answered me.

2Adonai

, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3What can be given to you, and what more can be done to you, O deceitful tongue?—

4sharp arrows of the mighty, with burning coals of a broom tree!

5Woe to me, for I sojourn in Meshech, for I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6My soul has too long dwelt with those who hate shalom.

7I am for shalom and thus I speak, but they are for war!
