Psalm 120
A Cry for Truth and Peace
A song of ascents.
1In my distress I called to the Lord,
2“Lord, rescue me from lying lips
and a deceitful tongue.”120:2 Pr 12:22
3What will he give you,
and what will he do to you,
you deceitful tongue?120:3 Zph 3:13
4A warrior’s sharp arrows
that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!120:5 = a nomadic people of the desert to the southeast120:5 Sg 1:5; Ezk 27:21
6I have dwelt too long
with those who hate peace.120:6 Ps 35:20
7I am for peace; but when I speak,
they are for war.120:7 Ps 109:4
