I cried in trouble to the LORD,
And he has answered me.
From lying lips and crafty tongue,
O LORD, my soul set free.
What shall be given you, false tongue?
What added to your doom?
Sharp arrows of a warrior’s might,
And red-hot coals of broom.
I cried in trouble to the LORD,
And he, and he has answered me!
Alas for me, that I sojourn
So long in distant land,
That I have made my dwelling where
The tents of strangers stand!
I cried in trouble to the LORD,
And he, and he has answered me!
Too long my soul has made its home
With those who peace abhor.
I am for peace, but when I speak
They ready are for war.
I cried in trouble to the LORD,
And he, and he has answered me!
