Psalms 120:3 - The Songs Of Ascents.

What shall be given unto thee? rather, what shall he ( i . e . God) give to thee? Or, in other words—What punishment will God inflict on thee for thy false speaking? Or what shall be done unto thee? literally, or what shall he add to thee? Compare the common phrase, "God do so unto me, and more also" ( 1 Samuel 3:17 ; 1 Samuel 14:44 ). Thou false tongue . The "false tongue" is apostrophized, as if it were a living person.
