| New International Version | International Standard Version |
| 1A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. | 1I cried to the LORD in my distress, and he responded to me. |
| 2Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. | 2"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive." |
| 3What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? | 3What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? |
| 4He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. | 4Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees! |
| 5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live 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 have I lived among 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. |
