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

4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.
4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
