1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.2 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!3 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.5 Wo to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.6 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.7 I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
