“I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.”
I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. The dramatic contrast—the psalmist desires peace ('I am for peace') while opponents pursue conflict ('when I speak, they are for war')—portrays fundamental alienation. This verse establishes the impasse: peaceful speech meets aggressive response.
