Psalm 120

Common English Bible CEB

1 I cried out to the LORD when I was in trouble (and he answered me):

2 "LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a dishonest tongue!"

3 What more will be given to you, what more will be done to you, you dishonest tongue?

4 Just this: a warrior's sharpened arrows, coupled with burning coals from a wood fire!

5 Oh, I'm doomed because I have been an immigrant in Meshech, because I've made my home among Kedar's tents.

6 I've lived far too long with people who hate peace.

7 I'm for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.

The Message Bible MSG

1 I'm in trouble. I cry to God, desperate for an answer:

2 "Deliver me from the liars, God! They smile so sweetly but lie through their teeth."

3 Do you know what's next, can you see what's coming, all you barefaced liars?

4 Pointed arrows and burning coals will be your reward.

5 I'm doomed to live in Meshech, cursed with a home in Kedar,

6 My whole life lived camping among quarreling neighbors.

7 I'm all for peace, but the minute I tell them so, they go to war!
