Psalm 120:1-Psalm 121:1 - A Cry For Truth And Peace

1 A song of ascents.In my distress I called to the Lord,
and He answered me.
2 Lord, deliver me from lying lips
and a deceitful tongue.”

3 What will He give you,
and what will He do to you,
you deceitful tongue?
4 A warrior’s sharp arrows
with burning charcoal!

5 What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,
that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!
6 I have lived too long
with those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace; but when I speak,
they are for war.

1 A song of ascents.I lift my eyes toward the mountains.
Where will my help come from?
