Psalms
Chapter 119
The just rejoice that their prayer is heard, and that God continually protecteth them.
- 1
Agradual Canticle. When I was in tribulation I cried to our Lord: and he heard me.
- 2
O Lord deliver my soul from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
- 3
What may be given thee, or what may be added unto thee to a deceitful tongue?
- 4
The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of desolation.
- 5
Woe is to me, that my sojourning is prolonged: I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar:
- 6
My soul hath been long a sojourner.
- 7
With them that hated peace I was peaceable: when I spake to them, they impugned me without cause.
