and he answered me.^(C1)² “Lord, rescue me from lying lips
and a deceitful tongue.”^(C1)

you deceitful tongue?^(C1)⁴ A warrior’s sharp arrows
with burning charcoal!^(F1)^(C1)

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!^(F2)^(C2)⁶ I have dwelt too long
with those who hate peace.^(C1)⁷ I am for peace; but when I speak,
they are for war.^(C1)
