120:1 A song for those journeying to worship. When I was in deep trouble, I called out to the Eternal, and He answered my call.
120:2 I prayed: “Protect me, Eternal, from lips that lie and tongues poisoned with deceit.”
120:3 Liars, what will be your prize? And what will come your way, O you tongues poisoned with deceit?
120:4 Here’s what you can expect: the archers’ arrows honed sharp as well as the red-hot coals of the broom wood.
120:5 Sorrow is mine, for I am a foreigner wandering in Meshech; I am a stranger drifting among the tents of Kedar!
120:6 My soul has roamed much too long among people who despise peace.
120:7 I am for peace; I ask for peace, but even as I open my mouth, they are ready to fight.
