Prayer for Deliverance from the Treacherous.

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