A Song of Ascents.
1In my distress, I cried to YAHWEH.1
He answered me.
2Deliver my soul, YAHWEH, from lying lips,
From a deceitful tongue.
3What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you,
You deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty,
With coals of juniper.
5Woe is me, that I live in Meshech,
That I dwell among the tents of Qaydar!
6My soul has had her dwelling too long
With him who hates peace.
7I am for peace,
But when I speak, they are for war.
- 120:1 YAHWEH, the name God revealed to Prophet Musa in the Taurat, Exodus 3:15 – God said moreover to Musa, “You shall tell Bani-Israel this, ‘YAHWEH, the God of your fathers, the God of Ibrahim, the God of Ishaq, and the God of Yaqub, has sent me to you.’ This is my Name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered to all generations.” ↩︎
