| 1 | I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer. | In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. | A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. | |
| 2 | Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people. | Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. | Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. | |
| 3 | O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment? | What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? | What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? | |
| 4 | You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals. | A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! | He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. | |
| 5 | How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar. | Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! | Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar! | |
| 6 | I am tired of living among people who hate peace. | Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. | Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. | |
| 7 | I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war! | I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! | I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. | |
