1. In my distress I called to the Lord,and He answered me.
2. “Lord, deliver me from lying lipsand a deceitful tongue.”
3. What will He give you,and what will He do to you,you deceitful tongue?
4. A warrior’s sharp arrowswith burning charcoal!
5. What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!
6. I have lived too longwith those who hate peace.
7. I am for peace; but when I speak,they are for war.
