  1. A song of ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me.
  2. O Lord, save my soul from false lips, from a deceitful tongue.
  3. What can He give you, and what can He add to you, you deceitful tongue?
  4. Sharpened arrows of a mighty man with coals of brooms.
  5. Woe is to me for I have sojourned in Meshech; I dwelt among the tents of Kedar.
