Psalms

A collection of songs and prayers expressing a wide range of emotions and thoughts on faith.

In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lorde in my trouble, and hee heard me.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
