A song of degrees.
1 I called unto the Lord in my trouble, and he
heard me. (a)
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and
from a deceitful tongue. (b)

thee? or what doth it avail thee?
4 It is as the sharp arrows of a mighty man, and
as the coals of Juniper.

dwell in the tents of Kedar.
6 My soul hath too long dwelt with him that
hateth peace.

bent to war.
