1. In my distress to God I cry'd,and he gave ear to me.
2. From lying lips, and guileful tongue,O Lord, my soul set free.
3. What shall be giv'n thee? or whatshall be done to thee, false tongue?
4. Ev'n burning coals of juniper,sharp arrows of the strong.
5. Woe's me that I in Mesech ama sojourner so long;That I in tabernacles dwellto Kedar that belong.
6. My soul with him that hateth peacehath long a dweller been.
7. I am for peace; but when I speak,for battle they are keen.
