1
Song
of
degrees.
In
my
distress
I
cried
unto
the
LORD,
and
he
heard
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
hath
long
dwelt
with
him
that
hateth
peace.
7
I
[am
for]
peace:
but
when
I
speak,
they
[are]
for
war.
