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