In My Distress (120)

In `my distress, I cried_ / to the LORD.

`He_ / answered me.

De `liver me_, LORD, from / lying lips,

`from_ a de / ceitful tongue.

`What_ will be given to you, and what will be / done to you,

`you de / ceitful tongue?

`Sharp_ arrows / of the mighty,

`with_ coals of / juniper.

`Woe is me, that I live / in Meshech,

`that I dwell among the tents_ / of Kedar!

`I have had my dwelling / too~ long

`with_ those who / hate~ peace. +

`I_ / am for peace,

but `when I speak, they / are for war.
