A Song{H7892} of degrees{H4609}. In my distress{H6869} I cried{H7121}{(H8804)} unto the LORD{H3068}, and he heard{H6030}{(H8799)} me.

Deliver{H5337}{(H8685)} my soul{H5315}, O LORD{H3068}, from lying{H8267} lips{H8193}, and from a deceitful{H7423} tongue{H3956}.

What shall be given{H5414}{(H8799)} unto thee? or what shall be done{H3254}{(H8686)} unto thee, thou false{H7423} tongue{H3956}?

Sharp{H8150}{(H8802)} arrows{H2671} of the mighty{H1368}, with coals{H1513} of juniper{H7574}.

Woe{H190} is me, that I sojourn{H1481}{(H8804)} in Mesech{H4902}, that I dwell{H7931}{(H8804)} in the tents{H168} of Kedar{H6938}!

My soul{H5315} hath long{H7227} dwelt{H7931}{(H8804)} with him that hateth{H8130}{(H8802)} peace{H7965}.

I am for peace{H7965}: but when I speak{H1696}{(H8762)}, they are for war{H4421}.
