2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
