1In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.
1In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
2Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
3What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
5Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
6My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
