1 A Song of Ascents.In my distress, I cried to the Lord.He answered me.2 Deliver my soul, Lord, 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 longwith him who hates peace.7 I am for peace,but when I speak, they are for war.
