1 I took my troubles to the lord;I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
2 Rescue me, O lord, from liarsand from all deceitful people.
3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you?How will he increase your punishment?
4 You will be pierced with sharp arrowsand burned with glowing coals.
5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech.It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
6 I am tired of livingamong people who hate peace.
7 I search for peace;but when I speak of peace, they want war!
