• 1. &lt;A Song of Ascents.&gt;<br>
    In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.
  • 2. Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
  • 3. What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
  • 4. Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
  • 5. Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
  • 6. My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
  • 7. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
