Psalms 120:1-7

Psalms 120:1-7 HCSB

In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me. “LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.” What will He give you, and what will He do to you, you deceitful tongue? A warrior’s sharp arrows with burning charcoal! What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar! I have lived too long with those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
