1 When I was in trouble, I called to the Lord,and he answered me.
2 Lord, save me from liarsand from those who plan evil.
3 You who plan evil, what will God do to you?How will he punish you?
4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a warriorand with burning coals of wood.
5 How terrible it is for me to live in the land of Meshech,to live among the people of Kedar.
6 I have lived too longwith people who hate peace.
7 When I talk peace,they want war.
