A Song of Degrees. 120:1 In mine
affliction I cried to Yehovah, and he hearkened to me.
120:2 Deliver my soul, O Yehovah, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful
tongue.
120:3 What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for
[thy] crafty tongue?
120:4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.
120:5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among
the tents of Kedar.
120:6 My soul has long been a sojourner;
120:7 I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them,
they warred against me without a cause. |
A Song of degrees. 120:1 In my distress I
cried unto Yehovah, and he heard me.
120:2 Deliver my soul, O Yehovah, 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. |
