In My Distress I Cried to the LORD

1Song of ascensions. I called to Jehovah in straits to me, and he will answer me.

2O Jehovah, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, from a tongue of deceit.

3What shall be given to thee? and what shall be added to thee, thou tongue of deceit?

4Arrows of the strong one sharpened with burning coals of broom.

5Wo! to me that I sojourned in Mesech; I dwelt with the tents of Kedar.

6My soul dwelt much upon it with Him hating peace.

7I peace: and when I shall speak, they for war.
