A Prayer for Help (PSA 120:1-7)

[120:1] When I was in trouble, I called to the Lord, and he answered me.

[120:2] Save me, Lord, from liars and deceivers.

[120:3] You liars, what will God do to you? How will he punish you?

[120:4] With a soldier's sharp arrows, with red-hot coals!

[120:5] Living among you is as bad as living in Meshech or among the people of Kedar.

[120:6] I have lived too long with people who hate peace!

[120:7] When I speak of peace, they are for war.
