1  In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

2  Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

3  What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4  Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

5  Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6  My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

7  I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
