Hymnal: The Psalter #343 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Afflictions Prayer in First Line: I cried to God in my distress Lyrics: 1 I cried to God in my distress, And by the Lord my prayer was heard; O save me, Lord, from lying lips And from the false, deceitful word. 2 What woe for falsehood can atone, Or punish the deceitful tongue, The tongue whose speech consumes like fire, Whose words like deadly shafts are flung? 3 Alas for me, whose lot is cast With those who find their joy in strife! With those who hate the paths of peace I long have dwelt and spent my life. 4 In thought and act I am for peace, Peace I pursue and ever seek; But those about me are for strife, Though I in love and kindness speak.

Thou hast made my friends despise me, And companion-less I go, Bound, and helpless in my bondage, Pining in my bitter woe. 3 Unto Thee with hands uplifted Daily I direct my cry; Hear, O Lord, my supplication, Hear and save me ere I die. Wilt Thou wait to show Thy wonders And Thy mercy to the dead? Let me live to tell Thy praises, By Thy loving-kindness led. 4 Still, O Lord, renewed each morning Unto Thee my prayer shall be; Cast me not away forever, Let me now Thy favor see. All my life is spent in sorrow, Grief and terror always nigh, Waves of wrath have surged about me; Show Thy mercy ere I die. 5 Friend and lover are departed, Dark and lonely is my way; Lord, be Thou my Friend and Helper, Still to Thee, O Lord, I pray. Lord, the God of my salvation, Day and night I cry to Thee; Let my prayer now find acceptance, In Thy mercy answer me. Scripture: Psalm 88 Languages: English Tune Title: IRVING
