1[[A Song of degrees.]] In my distress I cried unto the LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and he heard me.

2Deliver my soul, O LORD-Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given unto youⁱ? or what shall be done unto youⁱ, youⁱ false tongue?

4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshekh [Drawing Out], [that] I dwell in the tents of Keidar [darkness]!

6My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.

7I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
