Psalms

1A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

2O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

3What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

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

5Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

6Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

7I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!

A Song of degrees.

1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
