1: (A Song of degrees.) In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.
2: Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.
3: What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
4: Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.
5: Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6: My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.
7: I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
