A Song of Ascents.1 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 dwellingWith him that hateth peace.7 I am for peace:But when I speak, they are for war.
