Yahweh, save me from lying lips and a treacherous tongue!
120:3
What will he repay you, what more, treacherous tongue?
120:4
War-arrows made sharp over red-hot charcoal.

How wretched I am, living in Meshech, dwelling in the tents of Kedar!

Too long have I lived among people who hate peace.

When I speak of peace they are all for war!
