1 A song of ascents: I called to ADONAI in my distress, and he answered me.

In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Rescue me, ADONAI, from lips that tell lies, from a tongue full of deceit.
2
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What has he in store for you, deceitful tongue? What more will he do to you?
3
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 A warrior's sharp arrows, with red-hot coals from a broom tree.
4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 How wretched I am, that I'm an alien in Meshekh, that I must live among the tents of Keidar!
5
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 I have had to live far too long with those who hate peace.
6
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am all for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
7
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
