In my distress I cried out to the Lord

1
A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.
2
Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.
3
How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?
4
He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.
5
Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.
6
For too long I have lived with those who hate peace.
7
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.

In my distress I cried out to the Lord

1
In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
2
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
