1A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.
1Palveteekonna laul. Ma hüüdsin oma kitsikuses Issanda poole ja tema vastas mulle.
2O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!
2Issand, vabasta mu hing valetajaist huultest ja petisest keelest!
3What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!
3Mida anda sulle, mida lisada sulle, petis keel?
4Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.
4Sangari teravaid nooli koos leetpõõsa tuliste sütega.
5Wo to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.
5Häda mulle, et ma võõrana elan Mesekis, et ma viibin Keedari telkide keskel!
6Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.
6Juba kaua on mu hing elanud nende juures, kes vihkavad rahu.
7I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
7Mina tahan rahu! Aga kui ma räägin, on nemad valmis sõjaks.
