1 I n my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

2 J ehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

3 W hat shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 S harp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

5 W oe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 M y soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

7 I peace; but when I speak, they for war.
