A Song of Ascents
1In my distress to God I cry'd,
and he gave ear to me.
2From lying lips, and guileful tongue,
O Lord, my soul set free.
3What shall be giv'n thee? or what
shall be done to thee, false tongue?
4Ev'n burning coals of juniper,
sharp arrows of the strong.
5Woe's me that I in Mesech am
a sojourner so long;
That I in tabernacles dwell
to Kedar that belong.
6My soul with him that hateth peace
hath long a dweller been.
7I am for peace; but when I speak,
for battle they are keen.

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?

Ps. 127:4; Jer. 50:9 A warrior’s #Ps. 45:5 sharp arrows,
with glowing #Ps. 140:10; Prov. 25:22coals of the broom tree!
5Woe to me, that I sojourn in #Gen. 10:2; Ezek. 27:13; 38:2, 3; 39:1 Meshech,
that I dwell among #Song 1:5 the tents of #Gen. 25:13; Isa. 60:7; Jer. 49:28; Ezek. 27:21Kedar!
6Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.
