A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#223

223. In my Distress, to God, I cry'd

1. In my Distress, to God, I cry'd.
And he redress'd my Wrongs.
2. Save, Lord, my Soul from lying Lips,
And from deceitful Tongues.
3. What shall a false Tongue give to Thee?
What Benefits confer?
4. What? but sharp Arrows of the strong,
And Coals of Juniper.

5. Wo's me! I am a Sojourner,
In Meshech's barren Plain;
And yet, among the lawless Tents
Of Kedar, I remain.
6. Long Time, my Soul has dwelt with them,
That Charms of Peace abhor.
7. I am for Peace; but when, I speak.
They all declare for War.
