In my distress I cried out to the Lord
							
																								
								1
								
									A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.
								
							 
																								
								2
								
									Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.
								
							 
																								
								3
								
									What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?
								
							 
																								
								4
								
									It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.
								
							 
																								
								5
								
									Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.
								
							 
																								
								6
								
									My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
								
							 
																								
								7
								
									I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
