Psalm 120
Ad Dominum
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 7 verses
- 1
When I was in trouble, I called to the LORD; *
I called to the LORD, and he answered me. - 2
Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips *
and from the deceitful tongue. - 3
What shall be done to you, and what more besides, *
O you deceitful tongue? - 4
The sharpened arrows of a warrior, *
along with hot glowing coals. - 5
How hateful it is that I must lodge in Meshech *
and dwell among the tents of Kedar! - 6
Too long have I had to live *
among the enemies of peace. - 7
I am on the side of peace, *
but when I speak of it, they are for war.
