Psalms 120

120

120:1 <<A Song of degrees.>> In my distress I cried unto the lORD, and he heard me.

[1] {A Song of degrees} Literally, "of ascents." Perhaps chanted by the people as they went up to Jerusalem to the feasts. See, e.g. # Ps 112:1,2

120:2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

120:3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 120:7 I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
