In my distress I cried out to the Lord

1
In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.
2
O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.
3
What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.
4
The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.
5
Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:
6
My soul hath been long a sojourner.
7
With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.

In my distress I cried out to the Lord

1
In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
2
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
