(a version of Psalm 120 – to the tune of “In Christ Alone” - I hope it works)
In my distress, I cry to God
that he may answer me.
Deliver me, O Lord my God,
from lies and a deceitful tongue.
What shall be done
and given to you
Deceitful tongue
and lying lips
A warrior's sling
and sharp arrows
(and) glowing coals of the broom tree.
O woe is me, and all my kin
Those who live in the land of sin
In Kedar's tents, and in Meshech
amongst those who hate peace.
I am for peace, they are for war,
They are for war, I am for peace
But when I speak, I am for peace
(for) too long I have dwelt in war.
