English Standard Version | Holman Christian Standard Bible |
1In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. | 1A song of ascents. In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me." |
2Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. | 2 LORD, deliver me from lying lips and a deceitful tongue." |
3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? | 3What will He give you, and what will He do to you, you deceitful tongue? |
4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! | 4A warrior's sharp arrows with burning charcoal! |
5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! | 5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, that I have lived among the tents of Kedar! |
6Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. | 6I have lived too long with those who hate peace. |
7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! | 7I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. |
