✧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? ✧4Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper. ✧5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! ✧6My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace. ✧7I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
