Psalms 120

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

 120:1 ¶ A gradual canticle. In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

 120:2 O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

 120:3 What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue?

 120:4 The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

 120:5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar:

 120:6 My soul hath been long a sojourner.

 120:7 With them that hated peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
