1
In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered me:
2 Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue.
2
"Lord, deliver me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue."
3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?
3
What will He give you, and what will He do to you, you deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.
4
A warrior's sharp arrows, with burning charcoal!
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
5
What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

I have lived too long with those who hate peace.
7 I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
7
I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
