Songs from the Heart Day 2

Write the Psalm

Psalm 120 (The Message)

I’m in trouble. I cry to God,

    desperate for an answer:

“Deliver me from the liars, God!

    They smile so sweetly but lie through their teeth.”

3-4 Do you know what’s next, can you see what’s coming,

    all you bold-faced liars?

Pointed arrows and burning coals

    will be your reward.

5-7 I’m doomed to live in Meshech,

    cursed with a home in Kedar,

My whole life lived camping

    among quarreling neighbors.

I’m all for peace, but the minute

    I tell them so, they go to war!
