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