¹ I call out to the Lord when I'm in trouble, and he answers me. ² Lord, save me from people whose lips tell lies. Save me from people whose tongues don't tell the truth. ³ What will the Lord do to you, you lying tongue? And what more will he do? ⁴ He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier. He will punish you with burning wood from a desert tree. ⁵ How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshech! How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar! ⁶ I have lived too long among those who hate peace. ⁷ I want peace. But when I speak, they want war.
