1 I call out to the Lord when I'm in trouble, and he answers me.
2 Lord, save me from people whose lips tell lies. Save me from people whose tongues don't tell the truth.
3 What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue? And what more will he do?
4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier. He will punish you with burning wood from a desert tree.
5 How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshech! How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar!
6 I have lived too long among those who hate peace.
