When I was in trouble, I called up- | -on the LORD,

* and | he heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from | lying lips,

* and | from •a de•ceitful tongue.

3 What reward shall be given or done unto thee, thou | false tongue?

* even mighty and sharp arrows, with | hot burning coals.

4 Woe is me, that I am constrained to | dwell with Meshech,

* and to have my habitation a- | -mong the tents of Kedar!

5 My soul hath long | dwelt a•mong them

* that are | ene•mies unto peace.

6 I labour for peace; but when I speak unto | them thereof,

* they | make them •ready• to battle.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
