诗篇 120
格言说明不义的行为如何妨碍祈祷：「听见却不顾穷人呼求的，他呼求也不蒙应允」；怒气对于愚人如同带着刺，仁慈的人有益于邻舍，凶恶的人使同伴受害。
1In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
