Psalm 120, Chant B

Psalm 120    Ad Dominum

1 When I was in trouble, I called to the LORD; *
I called to the LORD, and he an-swered me.

2 Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips *
and from the deceit-ful tongue.

3 What shall be done to you, and what more be-sides, *
O you deceit-ful tongue?

4 The sharpened arrows of a war-rior, *
along with hot glow-ing coals.

5 How hateful it is that I must lodge in Me-shech *
and dwell among the tents of Ke-dar!

6 Too long have I had to live *
among the enemies of peace.

7 I am on the side of peace, *
but when I speak of it, they are for war.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
