2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

7 I [am for] peace; but when I speak, *they* [are] for war.
