1“A song of the degrees.” Unto the Lord, when I was in distress, did I call, and he hath answered me.
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.
Psalms 120
