Psalms

¹In my distress, I cried to Yahweh.He answered me.

²Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips,from a deceitful tongue.

³What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you,you deceitful tongue?

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

⁵Woe is me, that I live in Meshech,that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁶My soul has had her dwelling too longwith him who hates peace.

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