A Song of degrees.

¹ In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

² Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

³ What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

⁴ Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

⁵ Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁶ My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

⁷ I [am for] peace; but when I speak, *they* [are] for war.
