1
In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.
2
Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3
What shall be given to you, 1and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?
4
2A warrior's 3sharp arrows, with glowing 4coals of the broom tree!
5
Woe to me, that I sojourn in 5Meshech, that I dwell among 6the tents of 7Kedar!
6
Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.
7
8I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!
