| 1A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. | 1In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. |
| 2Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. | 2Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. |
| 3What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? | 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? |
| 4He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. | 4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! |
| 5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar! | 5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. | 6Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. |
| 7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. | 7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! |
