Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, {and} from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? {What shall be given…: or, What shall the deceitful tongue give unto thee? or, what shall it profit thee?} {done: Heb. added} Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. {Sharp…: or, It is as the sharp arrows of the mighty man, with coals of juniper} Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, {that} I dwell in the tents of Kedar! My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. I {am for} peace: but when I speak, they {are} for war. {for peace: or, a man of peace} undefined [A Song of degrees.] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. {I will…: or, Shall I lift up mine eyes to the hills? whence should my help come?} My help {cometh} from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
