Author: David G. Preston Hymnal: Christian Worship #120A (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In anguish to the LORD I cry,
my desp'rate prayer is heard:
"Save me, O LORD, from lips that lie
and ev'ry untrue word!"
2 What just reward will God command
for such deceitful souls?
A warrior's sharpest arrows and
the broom tree's burning coals!
3 Why must I spend this present life
with godless men like these?
Their savage hearts are set on strife:
my words are words of peace.
