1I called unto the Lord in my trouble, and he heard me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3What doth thy deceitful tongue bring unto thee? or what doth it avail thee?
4It is as the sharp arrows of a mighty man, and as the coals of Juniper.
5Woe is to me that I remain in Meshech, and dwell in the tents of Kedar.
6My soul hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7I seek peace, and when I speak thereof, they are bent to war.
