A Song of degrees.
1
In my distressI cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,And from a deceitful tongue.
3
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6
My soul hath long dweltWith him that hateth peace.
7
I am for peace:But when I speak, they are for war.
