Ad Dominum

1  When I was in trouble I called upon the Lord, *
and he hearkened to my calling.
2  Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips *
and from a deceitful tongue.
3  What reward shall be given or done unto you,
  O false tongue? *
Even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals.
4  Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell in Meshech, *
and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar.
5  My soul has long dwelt among those *
who are enemies of peace.
6  I labor for peace, but when I speak to them of it, *
they make themselves ready for battle.
