God’s Peace

Psalm 120:1-7

¹ I cried out to the LORD when I was in trouble (and he answered me): ² “LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a dishonest tongue!” ³ What more will be given to you, what more will be done to you, you dishonest tongue? ⁴ Just this: a warrior’s sharpened arrows, coupled with burning coals from a wood fire! ⁵ Oh, I’m doomed because I have been an immigrant in Meshech, because I’ve made my home among Kedar’s tents. ⁶ I’ve lived far too long with people who hate peace. ⁷ I’m for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
