1In my distress I cried unto the LORD , and he heard me. 2Deliver my soul , O LORD , from lying lips , and from a deceitful tongue .
The Nature of the Oppression
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue ? 4Sharp arrows of the mighty , with coals of juniper .
The Consequences of Deceit
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech , that I dwell in the tents of Kedar ! 6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace . 7I am for peace : but when I speak , they are for war .
