A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

3 Palyal ol te nang taengah bahamnim m'paek vetih bahamnim nang taengah hang koei eh?

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
