Catholic Public Domain Version
1A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.
2My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.
4Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.
5The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.
6The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.
7The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.
8May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
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.

2Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
