1 [A Song of degrees.] In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.7 I {am for} peace; but when I speak, *they* {are} for war.

1 我在急难中呼求耶和华， 他就应允我。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题） 2 耶和华啊！ 求你救我脱离说谎的嘴唇， 救我脱离诡诈的舌头。 3 诡诈的舌头啊！ 他要给你什么呢？他要加给你什么呢？ 4 就是勇士的利箭， 和罗腾木烧的炭火。 5 我寄居在米设， 住在基达的帐棚中， 有祸了。 6 我和恨恶和平的人， 同住得太久。 7 我希望有和平， 但我一说话， 他们就要争战。
