Psalm 120
or Coverdale
Ad Dominum

¹When I was in trouble, I called to the Lord; *
I called to the Lord, and he answered me.
²Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips *
and from the deceitful tongue.
³What shall be done to you, and what more besides, *
O you deceitful tongue?
⁴The sharpened arrows of a warrior, *
along with hot glowing coals.
⁵How hateful it is that I must lodge in Meshech *
and dwell among the tents of Kedar!
⁶Too long have I had to live; *
among the enemies of peace.
⁷I am on the side of peace, *
but when I speak of it, they are for war.
