Psalms 120

Listen to Psalms 120 read aloud by Bob Souer (1 min).

In my distress I cried (Psalms 120:1–2)
In my distress I cried
Sharp arrows and broom-tree coals (Psalms 120:3–4)
Sharp arrows and broom-tree coals
I speak peace; they want war (Psalms 120:5–7)
I speak peace; they want war

In My Distress I Cried to the LORD

1A song of ascents.

In my distress I cried to the LORD,

and He answered me.

2Deliver my soul, O LORD,

from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

3What will He do to you,

and what will be added to you,

O deceitful tongue?

4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior,

with burning coals of the broom tree!

5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,

that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6Too long have I dwelt

among those who hate peace.

7I am in favor of peace;

but when I speak, they want war.
