EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Song of degrees. ¶ In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he answered me. ² Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue. ³ What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? ⁴ Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. ⁵ ¶ Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! ⁶ My soul has long dwelt with those that hate peace. ⁷ I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
