1 I cried out to the Lord when I was in trouble(and he answered me):
2 "Lord, deliver me from lying lipsand a dishonest tongue!"
3 What more will be given to you,what more will be done to you,you dishonest tongue?
4 Just this: a warrior’s sharpened arrows,coupled with burning coals from a wood fire!
5 Oh, I’m doomedbecause I have been an immigrant in Meshech,because I’ve made my home among Kedar’s tents.
6 I’ve lived far too longwith people who hate peace.
7 I’m for peace,but when I speak, they are for war.
