Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 120

I called to the Lord in my distress, 
and He answered me.

Deliver me, Lord, from lying lips 
and from deceitful tongues.

What will He do to you, 
and what more besides, 
O deceitful tongue?

He will bring upon you 
sharp arrows of a warrior, 
with burning coals of the broom tree.

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, 
that I live among the tents of Kedar!

Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
