 1 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.*
 
[Psalms 119](/study/psalms/119) [Psalms 121](/study/psalms/121)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
120:1 [A Song of {a} degrees.] In my {b} distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 

(a) That is, of lifting up the tune and rising in singing. 

(b) Even though the children of God should rejoice when they suffer for righteousness sake, yet it is a great grief to the flesh to hear evil for well doing.
