Psa 120 | AKJV | STEP | ¶ A song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

‏ Psalms 120

1 David prays against Doeg, 3 reproves his tongue, 5 complains of his necessary conversation with the wicked.

¶ A song of degrees.

1 In my distress I cried to 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 to you? or what shall be done to you, you false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul has long dwelled with him that hates peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
