2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
2O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!
6Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
6My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
7I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
