Spirit of the Psalms
Psalm 120
Various/Unknown
Woe's me that I in Mesech am
A sojourner so long;
That I in tabernacles dwell
To Kedar that belong.
2 My soul with him that hateth peace
Hath long a dweller been;
I am for peace; but when I speak,
For battle they are keen.
3 My soul distracted mourns and pines
To reach that peaceful shore,
Where all the weary are at rest,
And troublers vex no more.
4 Pierce burning coals of juniper,
And arrows of the strong,
Await those false and cruel tongues
Which do the righteous wrong.
5 But as for me my song shall rise
Before Jehovah's throne,
For He has seen my deep distress,
And hearken'd to my groan.
Scotch Version, 1641:
Charles H. Spurgeon, 1866.
