Geneva Bible
1A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.
2Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.
3What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?
4It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.
5Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.
6My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
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.
