The Book of Psalms

Psalm 119
|
(A song of ascents.)
1
Not unheeded I cry to the Lord in the hour of my distress.
2
Lord, have pity and deliver me from the treacherous lips, the perjured tongue.
3
Perjurer, he will give thee all thy deserts and more;
4
sharp arrows from a warrior’s bow, blazing faggots of broom.
5
Unhappy I, that live an exile in Mosoch, or dwell among the tents of Cedar!
6
Long banished here among the enemies of peace,
7
for peace I plead, and their cry is still for battle.
