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