- A song of degrees.
- 1
- I called vnto the Lorde in my trouble, and hee heard me.
- 2
- Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.
- 3
- What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee?
or what doeth it auaile thee?
- 4
- It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.
- 5
- Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.
- 6
- My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
- 7
- I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
