A Song of degrees.

1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth 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。
