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.
