1Prayer for deliverance from the treacherous.
A Song of Ascents.
In my distress I cried unto Jehovah,And he answered me.2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips,And from a deceitful tongue.3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee,Thou deceitful tongue?41Sharp arrows of the mighty,With coals of 2juniper.5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!6My soul hath long had her dwellingWith him that hateth peace.7I am for peace:But when I speak, they are for war.
