| New King James Version | New International Version |
| 1A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, And He heard me. | 1A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. |
| 2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips And from a deceitful tongue. | 2Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. |
| 3What shall be given to you, Or what shall be done to you, You false tongue? | 3What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? |
| 4Sharp arrows of the warrior, With coals of the broom tree! | 4He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. |
| 5Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar! | 5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar! |
| 6My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace. | 6Too long have I lived among 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. |
