1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he answered me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, {cf15i and} from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
7 I am {cf15i for} peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
