1

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.

2

Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue.

3

What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

4

Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

5

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6

My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

7

I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
