120
A Song of degrees.
1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?*What shall be given…: or, What shall the deceitful tongue give unto thee? or, what shall is profit thee?†done: Heb. added
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.‡Sharp…: or, It is as the sharp arrows of the mighty man, with coals of juniper
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.§for peace: or, a man of peace
