1.I called upon the LORD in my distress;
he answered me and listened to my plea.
Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips,
from lying lips that speak deceitfully.
2.To you, deceitful tongue, what shall be giv’n?
To you, deceitful tongue, what shall be done?
A warrior’s sharpened arrows you’ll receive
with coals still glowing, burning from the vine.
3.O woe to me that I in Meshech dwell,
that I must sojourn there in Kedar’s tents.
Too long I’ve lived with those who peace abhor.
I speak for peace, but then for war they stand.
I CALLED UPON THE LORD IN MY DISTRESS
First Line:
I called upon the LORD in my distress; he answered me and listened to my plea.
