**1 **\{A Song of degrees.} In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

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

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

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

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

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

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