1A song of the degrees. 2O Lord, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, and from a tongue of deceit. 3What will God give unto thee? or what will he add unto thee, thou tongue of deceit? 4Sharpened arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom-bush. 5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6Too long for herself hath my soul dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
