In My Distress, I Cried to the LORD
A Song of Ascents.
1 In my distress, I cried to the LORD.
He answered me.
2 Deliver me, O 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 I have dwelt too long
with one who hates peace.
7 I am for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war.
