A song of ascents.
1In my distress I called to Yahweh, and he answered me.
2Yahweh, rescue my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3What will he give you, and what more will he do to you, you deceitful tongue?
4A warrior’s sharpened arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree!
5Woe to me, for I live as a foreigner in Meshech; I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6Too long my soul has dwelt with those who hate peace.
7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
