Bible in Basic English
1In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.
2O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.
3What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.
5Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.
6My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.
7I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Cántico gradual. A JEHOVÁ llamé estando en angustia, y él me respondió.
2Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, de labio mentiroso, de la lengua fraudulenta.
3¿Qué te dará, ó qué te aprovechará, oh lengua engañosa?
4Agudas saetas de valiente, con brasas de enebro.
5¡Ay de mí, que peregrino en Mesech, y habito entre las tiendas de Kedar!
6Mucho se detiene mi alma con los que aborrecen la paz.
7Yo soy pacífico: mas ellos, así que hablo, me hacen guerra.
King James Version
1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
