A Song of degrees.1 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? (*) (*)

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. (*)

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. (*) Psalms 120: 1-7

It is a beautiful day upon which to serve the Lord.
