Psalm 120

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 <<A Ma`alot Song.>> In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, You deceitful tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshekh, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long With him who hates shalom.

7 I am for shalom, 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!
