<A Song of the going up.>

In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.
2
O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.
3
What punishment will he give you?
what more will he do to you, you false tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.
5
Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.
6
My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.
7
I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
