1 A Jeová, na minha tribulação, clamei, E ele me respondeu.2 Livra, Jeová, de lábios mentirosos a minha alma, E da língua enganadora.3 Que te será dado, e que te será acrescentado, Língua enganadora?4 Agudas setas do valente, Juntamente com carvões de giestas.5 Ai de mim, que peregrino em Meseque, E habito entre as tendas de Quedar!6 Há muito que a minha alma habita Com aquele que odeia a paz.7 Eu sou pela paz: Mas quando falo, eles são pela guerra.

1 When I was in trouble, I cried out to Jehovah, and he answered me.2 O Jehovah, rescue me from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.3 You deceitful tongue, what can Jehovah give you? What more can he do for you?4 He will give you a warrior's sharpened arrows and red-hot coals.5 How horrible it is to live as a foreigner in Meshech or to stay in the tents of Kedar.6 I have lived too long with those who hate peace.7 I am for peace, but when I talk about it, they only talk about war.
