0The song of the steps.
1To Yahweh in my distress I called out, and he answered me.
2Yahweh, deliver my living being from the lip of falsehood, from a deceitful tongue.
3What will he give you, and what more will he add to you, deceitful tongue?
4Sharpened arrows of a mighty man, with coals of the broom plants.
5Woe to me, that I have sojourned in Meshech, that I have dwelt among the tents of Kedar!
6Too long has my living being dwelt with one who hates wholeness.
7I am wholeness, but when I speak, they are for war.
