I Cried to God in My Distress (EN 1730)

EN 1730 I Cried to God in My Distress

Ps.120.1

Versi Version 1

1

I cried to God in my distress,

And by the Lord my prayer was heard;

O save me, Lord, from lying lips

And from the false, deceitful word.

2

What woe for falsehood can atone,

Or punish the deceitful tongue,

The tongue whose speech consumes like fire,

Whose words like deadly shafts are flung?

3

Alas for me, whose lot is cast

With those who find their joy in strife!

With those who hate the paths of peace

I long have dwelt and spent my life.

4

In thought and act I am for peace,

Peace I pursue and ever seek;

But those about me are for strife,

Though I in love and kindness speak.
