1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, 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 broom.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
