‏ Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto HaShem, and He answered me. 2 O HaShem, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. 3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue? 4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom. 5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace. 7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
