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, 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 to 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!
