¹A song of the sundial degree markings.

When I was in adversity

I called out to the Lord,

And he answered me.

²O Lord, deliver my life from a false lip,

And from a deceitful tongue.

³What will he give you,

Or what else will he give you,

O deceitful tongue?

⁴– The sharpened warrior's arrows

With blazing broom attached.

⁵Alas for me, for I am staying in Meshech

And dwelling with the tents of Kedar.

⁶My being dwelt there for a long time

With one who hates peace.

⁷I am for peace,

But when I speak,

They are for war.
