Psalms

A Song of Ascents.

120 Unto Yahweh in the distress that befell me I cried—and he answered me.

2 O Yahweh! rescue thou my soul—From the false lip. From the deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to thee And what shall be added to thee Thou deceitful tongue?

4 The arrows of the hero sharpened, With burning coals of broom.

5 Woe is me That I sojourn in Meshek,—That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

6 Long hath my soul had her dwelling With him that hateth peace:

7 I am for peace and verily I speak, They are for war!
