1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
