2Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, Andfrom a deceitful tongue.

2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

6My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.
