1(120) A Song of Degrees. In my affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for your crafty tongue?
4Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.
5Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled amongst the tents of Kedar.
6My soul has long been a sojourner;
7I was peaceful amongst them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
