Psalm 120

Send us Fan MailA Song of Ascent / A song for pilgrims ascending to JerusalemI took my troubles to Yehovah; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.  2 Rescue me, O Yehovah, from liars and from all deceitful people.  3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?  How will he increase your punishment?  4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.  5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech.  It pains me to live in distant Kedar.  6  I am tired of living among people who hate peace.  7 I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!
