• Plea for Relief from Bitter Foes

  • 1 In my distress I cried to the Lord, And He heard me.
  • 2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips And from a deceitful tongue.
  • 3 What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, You false tongue?
  • 4 Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree!
  • 5 Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
  • 6 My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace.
  • 7 I am for peace; But when I speak, they are for war.
