| 1 | In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me. |
| 2 | Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue. |
| 3 | What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue? |
| 4 | Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper. |
| 5 | Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6 | My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace. |
| 7 | I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war. Psalm 121 A Song of Ascents. |
