Psalm 120 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.

Psa 120:1
A Song of Ascents.
In my distress I cried unto Jehovah,
And he answered me.
Psa 120:2
Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,
And from a deceitful tongue.
Psa 120:3
What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,
Thou deceitful tongue?
Psa 120:4
Sharp arrows of the mighty,
With coals of juniper.
Psa 120:5
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
Psa 120:6
My soul hath long had her dwelling
With him that hateth peace.
Psa 120:7
I am for peace:
But when I speak, they are for war.
