A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.
2 LORD to rescue [emph?] soul: myself my from lips deception from tongue deceit
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
3 what? to give: give to/for you and what? to add to/for you tongue deceit
What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
4 arrow mighty man to sharpen with coal broom
Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
5 woe! to/for me for to sojourn Meshech to dwell with tent Kedar
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6 many to dwell to/for her soul: myself my with to hate peace
Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
7 I peace and for to speak: speak they(masc.) to/for battle
I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
