Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.

A Song of Ascents.

1 In my trouble I cried to the LORD,
         And He answered me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips,
         From a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,
         You deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,
         With the burning coals of the broom tree.
5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,
         For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling
         With those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace, but when I speak,
         They are for war.
