| 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." | 2Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. |
| 3What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? | 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done 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 glowing coals of the broom tree! |
| 5How terrible for me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I reside among the tents of Kedar! | 5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6I have resided too long with those who hate peace. | 6Too long have I had my dwelling among 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! |
