| | 1 | A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. | |
| | 2 | Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. | |
| | 3 | What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? | |
| | 4 | He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. | |
| | 5 | Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar! | |
| | 6 | Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. | |
| | 7 | I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war. | |
