| New King James Version | English Standard Version |
| 1A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, And He heard me. | 1In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. |
| 2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips And from a deceitful tongue. | 2Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. |
| 3What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, You false tongue? | 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? |
| 4Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree! | 4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! |
| 5Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! | 5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates 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! |
