PSALM 120

The Afflicted Soul Cries Out

An ode of the steps.

1 [²to ³the lord ⁴in ⁵my being afflicted ¹I cried out], and he listened to me. 2 O lord, rescue my soul from [²lips ¹unjust], and from [²tongue ¹a deceitful]! 3 What may be given to you, and what added to you, to [²tongue ¹the deceitful]? 4 The arrows of the mighty are being sharpened with the [²coals ¹solitary]. 5 Alas, for my sojourn was far; I encamped with the tents of Kedar. 6 [³much ²sojourned ¹My soul] with the ones detesting peace. 7 I was peaceable whenever I was speaking to them; they waged war against me without charge.
