Psalm 120

In Psalm 120, we encounter a soul deep in the turmoil of deception, crying out for God's deliverance. As a Song of Ascents, it resonates with those who have felt the sting of betrayal and long for the serenity of truth. This psalm poignantly captures the believer's journey through a landscape of falsehood, clinging to the hope that God hears and acts in response to the righteous plea for honesty and peace.

Psalm 120
1 (A Song of degrees.) In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
