Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5

1To Jehovah in my distress I cried, And he answered me.

2O Jehovah! deliver my soul from the lip of falsehood, From the tongue of deceit.

3What give thee, and what avail thee Shall the tongue of deceit?

4The arrows of a strong man sharpened, With coals of junipers.

5Alas for me! that I have been a sojourner in Meseeh, And have dwelt among the tents of Kedar.

6Long dwelt hath my soul with him who hateth peace.

7I [am for] peace; But when I speak, they [are] for war.
