A song of the ascents.{HR}In my trouble I called unto Jehovah,{HR}And he answered me.
Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lip of lying,{HR}From a tongue of deceit.
What shall be given unto thee,{HR}What shall be added unto thee,{HR}O tongue of deceit?
A mighty one’s arrows sharpened,{HR}With coals of broom.
Alas for me, that I sojourn [in] Mesech,{HR}That I dwell with the tents of Kedar!
Long (much) for her hath my soul dwelt with a hater of peace.
For me I [am] peace;{HR}And when I speak, they [are] for war.
