✧A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me. ✧2Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. ✧3What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue? ✧4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. ✧5Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! ✧6My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace. ✧7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
