Psalm 120
Good News Translation

A Prayer for Help

120 When I was in trouble, I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
2 Save me, Lord,
    from liars and deceivers.

3 You liars, what will God do to you?
    How will he punish you?
4 With a soldier's sharp arrows,
    with red-hot coals!

5 Living among you is as bad as living in Meshech
    or among the people of Kedar.[a]
6 I have lived too long
    with people who hate peace!
7 When I speak of peace,
    they are for war.
