Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.
A Song of Ascents.
A Song of Ascents.
1 In my trouble I cried to the LORD,
And He answered me.
And He answered me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,
From a deceitful tongue.
From a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,
You deceitful tongue?
You deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning coals of the broom tree.
With the burning coals of the broom tree.
5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling
With those who hate peace.
With those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace, but when I speak,
They are for war.
They are for war.
