New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, And He heard me. | 1I cried to the LORD in my distress, and he responded to me. |
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips And from a deceitful tongue. | 2"LORD, deliver me from lips that lie and tongues that deceive." |
3What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, You false tongue? | 3What will be given to you, and what will be done to you, you treacherous tongue? |
4Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree! | 4Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees! |
5Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, That 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! |
6My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates 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. |
