Psalms

Chapter 119

  1. 1

    A Canticle in steps. When troubled, I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me.

  2. 2

    O Lord, free my soul from lips of iniquity and from the deceitful tongue.

  3. 3

    What will be given to you, or what will be added to you, for a deceitful tongue?:

  4. 4

    the sharp arrows of the powerful, along with the burning coals of desolation.

  5. 5

    Woe to me, for my sojourning has been prolonged. I have lived with the inhabitants of Kedar.

  6. 6

    My soul has long been a sojourner.

  7. 7

    With those who hated peace, I was peaceful. When I spoke to them, they fought against me without cause.
