1(120) A Song of Degrees. In my affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.
1A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
2Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?
3What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.
5Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6My soul has long been a sojourner;
6My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
