Opening the chapter…
When I was distressed, I called out to God and he answered me.
I prayed, "God, rescue me from those who lie to me and try to deceive me!"
You people who lie to me, I will tell you what God will do to you and what he will do to punish you.
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.
It is terrible for me, living among cruel people like those who live in the regions of Meshech or Kedar.
I have lived for a long time among people who hate to live with others peacefully.
Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
