| 1A Song of Ascents. In my trouble I cried to the LORD, And He answered me. | 1I cried to the LORD in my distress, and he responded to me. |
| 2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue. | 2"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive." |
| 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, You deceitful tongue? | 3What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? |
| 4Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the burning coals of the broom tree. | 4Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees! |
| 5Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, For I dwell among the tents of Kedar! | 5How terrible for me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I reside among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who hate 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. |
