1 [A song for going up to worship.] When I was in trouble, I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me. In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me.
2 O LORD, rescue me from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue. Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.
3 You deceitful tongue, what can the LORD give you? What more can he do for you? What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue?
4 He will give you a warrior's sharpened arrows and red-hot coals. A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush.
5 How horrible it is to live as a foreigner in Meshech or to stay in the tents of Kedar. Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6 I have lived too long with those who hate peace. Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace, but when I talk about it, they only talk about war. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
