CRY OUT TO THE LORD IN DISTRESS

TEXT:

PSALM 120

1 In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me.

2 Deliver me, O Lord,from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,

  you deceitful tongue?

4 A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.

7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!
