1 The song of degrees. When I was set in tribulation, I cried to the Lord; and he heard me. (When I was beset with troubles, I cried to the Lord; and he answered me.)
1 (119-1) In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.
2 Lord, deliver thou my soul from wicked lips; and from a guileful tongue. (Lord, save thou me from wicked lips; and from a deceitful tongue.)
2 (119-2) O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to thee, either what shall be laid to thee; to a guileful tongue? (What shall be given to thee; that is, how shall he punish thee, O deceitful tongue?)
3 (119-3) What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty; with coals that make desolate. (With sharp arrows from the mighty; and with coals that shall make thee desolate.)
4 (119-4) The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.
5 Alas to me! for my dwelling in an alien land is made long, I dwelled with men dwelling in Kedar; (Alas for me! for my stay here in Mesech is prolonged, and I must live among the people, or in the tents, of Kedar!)
5 (119-5) Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar:
6 my soul was much (time) a comeling. I was peaceable with them that hated peace; (I am here too long as a newcomer, or a stranger; yea, too long living with those who hate peace.)
6 (119-6) My soul hath been long a sojourner.
7 when I spake to them, they impugned, either against-said, me without cause. (I am for peace; but whenever I speak of it to them, they be for war.)
7 (119-7) With them that hated peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
