A Song of Ascents.

1 In my distress, I cried to Yahweh.

He answered me.

2 Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips,

from a deceitful tongue.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you,

you deceitful tongue?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,

with coals of juniper.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech,

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long

with him who hates 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。
