| 1In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. | 1A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. |
| 2Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. | 2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. |
| 3What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? | 3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? |
| 4A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! | 4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. |
| 5Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! | 5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! |
| 6Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. | 6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth 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. |
