TEHILLIM 120

1 (Shir HaMa’alot â Song of Ascents) 1 In my tzoros I cried unto Hashem, and He heard me. 2 Save my nefesh, Hashem, from sefat sheker (lying lips), and from lashon remiyyah (a tongue of deceit). 3 What shall be given unto thee? Or what shall be done unto thee, thou lashon remiyyah? 4 Sharp khitzim (arrows) of the gibbor, with burning (charcoal) coals of the broom plant. 5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell in the ohalim of Kedar! 6 My nefesh hath long dwelt with him that hateth shalom. 7 I am for shalom; but when I speak, they are for milchamah (war).
