A Psalm a Day: Psalm 120

A Cry for Truth and Peace

A song of ascents.


In my distress I called to the Lord,

and he answered me.

“Lord, rescue me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.”


What will he give you,

and what will he do to you,

you deceitful tongue?

A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal!


What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

I have dwelt too long

with those who hate peace.

I am for peace; but when I speak,

they are for war.


Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
