# Psalms 120 [[Psalms 119|←]] • [[Psalms 121|→]] --- A Song of degrees. ### 1 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me. ### 2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. ### 3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? ### 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. ### 5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, I dwell in the tents of Kedar! ### 6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. ### 7 I peace: but when I speak, they for war.
