Ad Dominum

  1. 1

    When I was in trouble, I called to the LORD; *
    I called to the LORD, and he answered me.

  2. 2

    Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips *
    and from the deceitful tongue.

  3. 3

    What shall be done to you, and what more besides, *
    O you deceitful tongue?

  4. 4

    The sharpened arrows of a warrior, *
    along with hot glowing coals.

  5. 5

    How hateful it is that I must lodge in Meshech *
    and dwell among the tents of Kedar!

  6. 6

    Too long have I had to live *
    among the enemies of peace.

  7. 7

    I am on the side of peace, *
    but when I speak of it, they are for war.
