1 I n my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

2 D eliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 W hat will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

4 S harp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

6 M y soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
