Open in the reader →A Song of Ascents.
1In my distress I called to Yahweh, and he answered me.
2Yahweh, deliver me from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3What will be given to you, and what more will be done to you, you deceitful tongue?
4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with coals of broom trees.
5Woe to me, for I have lived as a foreigner in Meshech; I have lived among the tents of Kedar.
6My soul has long dwelt with one who hates peace.
7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
