Psalm 120 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

A Song of [fn]Ascents.

In my distress^H6869 I called^H7121 to Yahweh^H3068,

And He answered^H6030 me.

O Yahweh^H3068, deliver^H5337 my soul^H5315 from a lying^H8267 lip^H8193,

From a deceitful^H7423 tongue^H3956.

What^H4100 shall He give^H5414 to you, and what^H4100 shall He add^H3254 to you,

O deceitful^H7423 tongue^H3956?

Sharp^H8150 arrows^H2671 of the warrior^H1368,

With the burning coals^H1513 of the broom^H7574 tree^H7574.

Woe^H190 is me, for I sojourn^H1481 in Meshech^H4902,

For I dwell^H7931 among^H5973 the tents^H168 of Kedar^H6938!

Too long^H7227 has my soul^H5315 had its dwelling^H7931

With those who hate^H8130 peace^H7965.

I am for peace^H7965, but when^H3588 I speak^H1696,

They are for war^H4421.
