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

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

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

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

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
