1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 120

1 David prayeth against Doeg, 3 reproveth his tongue, 5 complaineth of his necessary conversation with the wicked.

 120:1 ¶ [[A Song of Ascents.]] In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.

 120:2 Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue.

 120:3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

 120:4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

 120:5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

 120:6 My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

 120:7 I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
