A Song of Ascent / A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem
I took my troubles to Yehovah; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer. 2 Rescue me, O Yehovah, from liars and from all deceitful people. 3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment? 4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals. 5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar. 6 I am tired of living among people who hate peace. 7 I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!
