In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
