• O Yahweh, Deliver My Soul

  • 1 In my distress I called to Yahweh, And He answered me.
  • 2 O Yahweh, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue.
  • 3 What shall He give to you, and what shall He add to you, O deceitful tongue?
  • 4 Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the burning coals of the broom tree.
  • 5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
  • 6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who hate peace.
  • 7 I am for peace, but when I speak, They are for war.
