   1   I called to the Lord in my distress,
    and he answered me.
   2   ‘O Lord,’ I cried, ‘save me from lying lips
    and from the tongue of slander.’
   3   What has he in store for you, slanderous tongue?
    What more has he for you?
   4   Nothing but a warrior's sharp arrows
    or red-hot charcoal. ^note
   5   Hard is my lot, exiled in Meshech,
  dwelling by the tents of Kedar.
   6   All the time that I dwelt
    among men who hated peace,
   7   I sought peace; but whenever I spoke of it,
    they were for war.
