Psalm 120
NET Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleEnglish Standard Version
1A song of ascents. In my distress I cried out to the LORD and he answered me. 1In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.
2I said, "O LORD, rescue me from those who lie with their lips and those who deceive with their tongue. 2Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3How will he severely punish you, you deceptive talker? 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?
4Here's how! With the sharp arrows of warriors, with arrowheads forged over the hot coals. 4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!
5How miserable I am! For I have lived temporarily in Meshech; I have resided among the tents of Kedar. 5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6For too long I have had to reside with those who hate peace. 6Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.
7I am committed to peace, but when I speak, they want to make war. 7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!
