2  Deliver me, O Lord,

from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.

3  What shall be given to you,

ⁿand what more shall be done to you,

you deceitful tongue?

4  ^oA warrior’s ^psharp arrows,

with glowing ^qcoals of the broom tree!

27  ^yA worthless man plots evil,

and his speech¹ is like ^za scorching fire.
