119
1 A Song of Degrees.
In mine affliction I cried to the Lord,
And he hearkened to me.
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips,
And from a deceitful tongue.
3 What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee,
For thy crafty tongue?
4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty,
With coals of the desert.
5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged;
I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.
6 My soul has long been a sojourner;
7 I was peaceable among them that hated peace;
When I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
