Psalm 120

New Living Translation NLT

1 I took my troubles to the LORD ; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.

2 Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people.

3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?

4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.

5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar.

6 I am tired of living among people who hate peace.

7 I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want 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!
