1A song of ascents. In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me:
2"LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue."
3What will He give you, and what will He do to you, you deceitful tongue?
4A warrior's sharp arrows, with burning charcoal!
5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!
6I have lived too long with those who hate peace.
7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
