Book Five (Psalms 107-150) "Concerning God and His Word"

A Song of degrees.


1:   In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

2:   Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3:   What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4:   Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5:   Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6:   My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7:   I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
