In my distress I cried out to the Lord
1
When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.
2
I prayed, “Yahweh, rescue me from those who lie to me and try to deceive me!”
3
You people who lie to me, I will tell you what God will do to you and what he will do to punish you.
4
He will punish you when soldiers shoot sharp arrows at you; arrows that were hardened and made sharp over hot coals from the wood of a broom tree.
5
It is terrible for me, living among cruel people like those who live in the regions of Meshech or Kedar.
6
I have lived for a long time among people who hate to live with others peacefully.
7
Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
