1 A song of the degrees. Unto the Lord, when I was in distress, did I call, and he hath answered me.2 O Lord, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, and from a tongue of deceit.3 What will God give unto thee? or what will he add unto thee, thou tongue of deceit?4 Sharpened arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom–bush.5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!6 Too long for herself hath my soul dwelt with him that hateth peace.7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
