1. I took my troubles to the lord;I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
2. Rescue me, O lord, from liarsand from all deceitful people.
3. O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?How will he increase your punishment?
4. You will be pierced with sharp arrowsand burned with glowing coals.
5. How I suffer in far-off Meshech.It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
6. I am tired of livingamong people who hate peace.
7. I search for peace;but when I speak of peace, they want war!
