1In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
2Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given to you,
# [1 Sam. 3:17] and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue?

6Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.

Plea for Relief from Bitter Foes
A Song of Ascents.
1In #(Is. 53:6); Jer. 50:6; Matt. 18:12; Luke 15:4; (1 Pet. 2:25)my distress I cried to the Lord,
And He heard me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips
And from a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given to you,
Or what shall be done to you,
You false tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With coals of the broom tree!
5Woe is me, that I dwell in #Jon. 2:2Meshech,
#Gen. 10:2; 1 Chr. 1:5; Ezek. 27:13; 38:2, 3; 39:1That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6My soul has dwelt too long
With one who hates peace.
7I am for peace;
But when I speak, they are for war.
