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.
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?
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.
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.
