1 When I was in trouble I called to the Lord; ♦︎
I called 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? ♦︎
What more shall be done to you, deceitful tongue?
4 The sharp arrows of a warrior, ♦︎
tempered in burning coals!
5 Woe is me, that I must lodge in Meshech ♦︎
and dwell among the tents of Kedar.
6 My soul has dwelt too long ♦︎
with enemies of peace.
7 I am for making peace, ♦︎
but when I speak of it, they make ready for war.
