In My Distress I Cried to the Lord
A song of ascents.
120In my distress I cried to the Lord,
and He answered me.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord,
from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
3What will He do to you,
and what will be added to you,
O deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows will come from the warrior,
with burning coals of the broom tree!
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6Too long have I dwelt
among those who hate peace.
7I am in favor of peace;
but when I speak, they want war.
