Psalm

Deliver Me, O LORD
120 A Song of Ascents.

    In my distress I called to the LORD,
        and he answered me. ₂Deliver me, O LORD,
        from lying lips,
        from a deceitful tongue. ₃What shall be given to you,
        and what more shall be done to you,
        you deceitful tongue? ₄A warrior's sharp arrows,
        with glowing coals of the broom tree! ₅Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
        that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! ₆Too long have I had my dwelling
        among those who hate peace. ₇I am for peace,
        but when I speak, they are for war!
