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!
