| 1I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer. | 1A Song of Ascents. In my trouble I cried to the LORD, And He answered me. |
| 2Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people. | 2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue. |
| 3O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment? | 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, You deceitful tongue? |
| 4You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals. | 4Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the burning coals of the broom tree. |
| 5How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar. | 5Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, For I dwell among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6I am tired of living among people who hate peace. | 6Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who hate peace. |
| 7I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war! | 7I am for peace, but when I speak, They are for war. |
