Psalms 120
Theme: A prayer for deliverance from false accusers. All believers must live with the tension of being in the world but not belonging to it.
A Song of degrees.
1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. +
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. +
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. +
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! +
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
