Thomson(i)
1 A Song of the steps. In my distress I cried to the Lord; and he hearkened to me.
2 Lord, deliver my soul from false lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What should be given thee? Or what return made thee for a deceitful tongue?
4 Arrows of the mighty sharpened with devouring coals.
5 Ah Woe is me that my sojourn is so long protracted; That I have dwelt with the tents of Kedar;
6 That my soul hath so long dwelt with them, who hate peace.
7 I was for peace; but when I spoke they attacked me without provocation.
