1I cried to the LORD in my distress, and he responded to me. | 1In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. |
2"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive." | 2"LORD, rescue me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue." |
3What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? | 3What will he give you, and what will he do to you, you deceitful tongue? |
4Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees! | 4A warrior's sharp arrows with burning charcoal! |
5How terrible for me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I reside among the tents of Kedar! | 5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar! |
6I have resided too long with those who hate peace. | 6I have dwelt too long with those who hate peace. |
7I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they are in favor of war. | 7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. |
