| 1A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. | 1I cried to the LORD in my distress, and he responded to me. |
| 2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. | 2"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive." |
| 3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? | 3What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? |
| 4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. | 4Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees! |
| 5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! | 5How terrible for me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I reside among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. | 6I have resided too long with those who hate peace. |
| 7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. | 7I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they are in favor of war. |
