1. A Song of Ascents. In my trouble I cried out to Adonai, and He answered me.
2. Adonai, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3. What can be given to you, and what more can be done to you, O deceitful tongue?—
4. sharp arrows of the mighty, with burning coals of a broom tree!
5. Woe to me, for I sojourn in Meshech, for I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
