¹A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.

¹In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

²Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

²Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

³What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?

³What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

⁴Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

⁴Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

⁵Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

⁵Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

⁶My soul has long been a sojourner;

⁶My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

⁷I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

⁷I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
