1 A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. |
2 Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. |
3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? |
4 He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. |
5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar! |
6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. |
7 I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war. |
