1I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
2Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people.
3O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?
4You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.
5How I suffer among these scoundrels of Meshech! It pains me to live with these people from Kedar!
6I am tired of living here among people who hate peace.
7As for me, I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war!
