1IN my distress I cried to the Lord,
and He answered me.
2 “Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips,
and from a deceitful tongue.”
3 What shall be given to you,
and what will be done to you, O deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,
with burning coals of the broom tree!
5 Woe is me, that I dwell in Mesech,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6 For too long I have lived
among those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.
