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