New International Version NIV
New Living Translation NLT
1 I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me.
1
I took my troubles to the LORD ; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
2 Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
2
Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people.
3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue?
3
O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?
4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush.
4
You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.
5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
5
How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.
6
I am tired of living among people who hate peace.
7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
7
I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!
