1A Song of Ascents. 2In my distress I cry to the LORD, that he may answer me: 3"Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue." 4What shall be given to you? And what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? 5A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! 6Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 7Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. [ (Psalms 120:8) I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war! ]
