Text · Psalm 120
In My Distress to God I Cried
In my distress to God I cried
from the Scottish Psalter, 1650 · 8.6.8.6
1.In my distress to God I cried,
and he gave ear to me.
From lying lips, and guileful tongue,
O Lord, my soul set free.
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.
3.Woe's me that I in Mesech am
a sojourner so long;
That I in tabernacles dwell
to Kedar that belong.
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.
