1A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. (Çık 34:24; 1 Kr 12:27; Yşa 30:29)2Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? (1 Sa 3:17)4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! (Mez 45:5; Mez 127:4; Mez 140:10; Özd 25:22; Yer 50:9)5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! (Yar 10:2; Yar 25:13; Ezg 1:5; Yşa 60:7; Yer 49:28; Hez 27:13; Hez 27:21; Hez 38:2; Hez 39:1)6Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! (Mez 109:4)
