A prayer for the Lord's help

(A song for worship.)

1. When I am in trouble, I pray,

2. “Come and save me, Lord,from deceitful liars!”

3. What punishment is fittingfor you deceitful liars?

4. Your reward should besharp and flaming arrows!

5. But I must live as a foreigneramong the people of Meshechand in the tents of Kedar.

6. I have spent too much timeliving among peoplewho hate peace.

7. I am in favour of peace,but when I speak of it,all they want is war.
