In my distress, I cried to the Lord. He answered me.
Psalms
1 David prays against Doeg, 3 Reproves his tongue, 5 Complains of his necessary conversation with the wicked
A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 ¶What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 ¶My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
