Psalm 120*Prayer of a Returned Exile1A song of ascents.* The Lord answered me when I called in my distress:a 2Lord, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a treacherous tongue.b 3What will he inflict on you, O treacherous tongue, and what more besides?* 4A warrior’s arrows sharpened with coals of brush wood!*c 5*Alas, I am a foreigner in Meshech, I live among the tents of Kedar! 6Too long do I live among those who hate peace. 7When I speak of peace, they are for war.d Book IntroductionFootnotesScripture texts, prefaces, introductions, footnotes and cross references used in this work are taken from the New American Bible, revised edition © 2010, 1991, 1986, 1970 Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., Washington, DC All Rights Reserved.
