| 1 |
In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.
|
| 2 |
Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, And from a deceitful tongue.
|
| 3 |
What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?
|
| 4 |
Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.
|
| 5 |
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
|
| 6 |
My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.
|
| 7 |
I am for peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
