1A Song of Ascents. In my trouble<6869> I cried<7121> to the LORD<3068>, And He answered<6030> me.
2Deliver<5337> my soul<5315>, O LORD<3068>, from lying<8267> lips<8193>, From a deceitful<7423> tongue<3956>.
3What<4100> shall be given<5414> to you, and what<4100> more<3254> shall be done<3254> to you, You deceitful<7423> tongue<3956>?
4Sharp<8150> arrows<2671> of the warrior<1368>, With the burning coals<1513> of the broom<7574> tree<7574>.
5Woe<190> is me, for I sojourn<1481> in Meshech<4902>, For I dwell<7931> among<5973> the tents<168> of Kedar<6938>!
6Too long<7227> has my soul<5315> had its dwelling<7931> With those who hate<8130> peace<7965>.
7I am for peace<7965>, but when<3588> I speak<1696>, They are for war<4421>.
