[1] A Song of Ascents. [2] In my distress I cry to the LORD, that he may
answer me: [3] "Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful
tongue." [4] What shall be given to you? And what more shall be done to
you, you deceitful tongue? [5] A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals
of the broom tree! [6] Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell
among the tents of Kedar! [7] Too long have I had my dwelling among those
who hate peace. [ (Psalms 120:8) I am for peace; but when I speak, they are
for war! ]
