Psalms

I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.

Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people.

O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?

You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.

How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar.

I am tired of living among people who hate peace.

I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!
