I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. 1
Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. 2
What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? 3
He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. 4
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar! 5
Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. 6
I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war. 7
