psalm

Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents.

120 
In my distress I called to the Lord,
and he answered me.
Deliver me, O Lord,
from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.

What shall be given to you,
(B)and what more shall be done to you,
you deceitful tongue?
©A warrior’s (D)sharp arrows,
with glowing (E)coals of the broom tree!

Woe to me, that I sojourn in (F)Meshech,
that I dwell among (G)the tents of (H)Kedar!
Too long have I had my dwelling
among those who hate peace.
(I)I am for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war!
