1. 我在急难中呼求耶和华，祂就应允我。 In my distress I called out to Jehovah, And He answered me.
2. 耶和华阿，求你救我脱离说谎的嘴唇，脱离诡诈的舌头。 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from lying lips, From a tongue of deceit.
3. 诡诈的舌头阿，要给你什么呢？要拿什么加给你呢？ What should be given to you, And what further shall be done to you, O tongue of deceit?
4. 就是勇士的利箭，连同罗腾木的炭火！ The sharp arrows of a mighty man, With the burning coals of the broom tree!
5. 我有祸了，因我寄居在米设，住在基达帐棚之中。 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, I dwell among the tents of Kedar.
6. 我与那恨恶和平的人，许久同住。 Long has my soul had its dwelling With him who hates peace.
7. 我愿和平；但我发言，他们就要争战。 I am for peace; but when I speak, They are for war.
