Psalms 120:3
What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
BSB
ASV
What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?
KJV
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
What shall be given to you, or what shall be added to you, to a deceitful tongue? The Holy Spirit answers the prophet, who says, O Lord, deliver my soul from unjust lips and from a deceitful tongue: What shall be given to you, or what shall be added to you, to a deceitful tongue? He answers him and says: You who say, O Lord, deliver my soul from unjust lips and from a deceitful tongue, what do you want given to you?
What shall be given unto thee?.... Or, "what shall it give unto thee?" (s) That is, what shall the deceitful tongue give unto thee, O my soul? or to thee, to anyone that hears and reads this psalm?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
