Psalms 120
Song of Ascents
1 When I am in trouble, I call to Yahweh, and he answers me.
2 Yahweh, save me from these lying lips and these faithless tongues!
3 How will he pay back the false oath? of a faithless tongue
4 With war arrows hardened over red-hot charcoal!
5 This is worse than a life in Meshech,[*a] or camping in Kedar!
6 Too long have I lived among people who hate peace,
7 who, when I propose peace, are all for war.
