Kerygma

PsalmsChapter 119

1

In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

2

O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

3

What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue?

4

The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

5

Woe is 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 spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
