1 When I was in trouble, I cried out to the Lord,and he answered me.
2 O Lord, rescue me from lying lipsand from a deceitful tongue.
3 You deceitful tongue, what can the Lord give you?What more can he do for you?
4 He will give you a warrior’s sharpened arrows and red-hot coals.
5 How horrible it is to live as a foreigner in Meshechor to stay in the tents of Kedar.
6 I have lived too long with those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace, but when I talk about it,they only talk about war.
