Psalm 120:2–4

2 Save me, Lord,

from lying lips

and from deceitful tongues.

3 What will he do to you,

and what more besides,

you deceitful tongue?

4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,

with burning coals of the broom bush.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,

And from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee,

Thou false tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,

With coals of juniper.

2 Rescue me, O Lord, from liars

and from all deceitful people.

3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?

How will he increase your punishment?

4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows

and burned with glowing coals.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips

And from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you,

Or what shall be done to you,

You false tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,

With coals of the broom tree!

2 Lord, save me from liars

and from those who plan evil.

3 You who plan evil, what will God do to you?

How will he punish you?

4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a warrior

and with burning coals of wood.

2 Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,

And from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,

Thou deceitful tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,

With coals of juniper.

2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue. 3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue? 4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

2 O Lord, rescue me from lying lips 

and from a deceitful tongue. 

3 You deceitful tongue, what can the Lord give you? 

What more can he do for you? 

4 He will give you a warrior’s sharpened arrows and red-hot coals. 

2 “Lord, deliver me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.”

3 What will He give you,

and what will He do to you,

you deceitful tongue?

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal!

2 “Deliver me, O Lord,

from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.”

3 What shall be given to you?

And what more shall be done to you,

you deceitful tongue?

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows,

with glowing coals of the broom tree!

2 “Deliver my life, O Yahweh, from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.”

3 What shall be given to you,

and what more shall be done to you,

deceitful tongue?

4 The sharpened arrows of a warrior,

with burning charcoals from broom trees.

2 Lord, save me from people whose lips tell lies.

Save me from people whose tongues don’t tell the truth.

3 What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue?

And what more will he do?

4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier.

He will punish you with burning wood from a desert tree.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,

From a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,

You deceitful tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,

With the burning coals of the broom tree.
