Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I took my troubles to the LORD ; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
1
A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.
2 Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people.
2
O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!
3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?
3
What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!
4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.
4
Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.
5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
5
Wo to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.
6 I am tired of living among people who hate peace.
6
Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.
7 I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!
7
I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
