I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to Him, and He answered my prayer. Rescue me oh Lord, from liars and from all deceitful people. O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will He increase your punishment? You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.
How I suffer among the scoundrels of Meshech! It pains me to live with these people from Kedar! I am tired of living here among people who hate peace. As for me, I am for peace; but when I speak , they are for war! Psalm 120
“A prayer for deliverance from false accusers. All believers must live with the tension of being in the world but not belonging to it.”
‘Peacemaking is not always popular. Some people prefer to fight for what they believe in. The glory of battle is in the hope of winning, but someone must be a loser. The glory of peacemaking is that it may actually produce two winners. Peacemaking is God’s way, so we should carefully and prayerfully attempt to be peacemakers.’
