1 A
Song of
degrees.In my
distress I
cried unto the
LORD, and he
heard me.
2 Deliver my
soul, O
LORD, from
lying lips, and from a
deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be
given unto thee? or what shall be
done unto thee, thou
false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the
mighty, with
coals of
juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I
sojourn in
Mesech, that I
dwell in the
tents of
Kedar!
6 My
soul hath
long dwelt with him that
hateth peace.
7 I am for
peace: but when I
speak, they are for
war.
