| 1I cried to the LORD in my distress, and he responded to me. | 1I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer. |
| 2"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive." | 2Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people. |
| 3What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? | 3O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment? |
| 4Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees! | 4You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals. |
| 5How terrible for me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I reside among the tents of Kedar! | 5How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar. |
| 6I have resided too long with those who hate peace. | 6I am tired of living among people who hate peace. |
| 7I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they are in favor of war. | 7I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war! |
