Bible David Martin 1744
1Cantique de Mahaloth. J’ai invoqué l’Eternel en ma grande détresse, et il m’a exaucé.
2Eternel, délivre mon âme des fausses lèvres, et de la langue trompeuse.
3Que te donnera, et te profitera la langue trompeuse ?
4Ce sont des flèches aiguës tirées par un homme puissant, et des charbons de genèvre.
5Hélas ! Que je suis misérable de séjourner en Mésech, et de demeurer aux tentes de Kédar !
6Que mon âme ait tant demeuré avec celui qui hait la paix !
7Je ne cherche que la paix, mais lorsque j’en parle, les voilà à la guerre.
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.
World English Bible
1In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
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.
