A song of ascents.

1 I call on the Lordin my distress,

and he answers me.

2 Save me, Lord,

from lying lips

and from deceitful tongues.

3 What will he do to you,

and what more besides,

you deceitful tongue?

4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,

with burning coals of the broom bush.

5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,

that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 Too long have I lived

among those who hate peace.

7 I am for peace;

but when I speak, they are for war.
