1Palveteekonna laul. Ma hüüdsin oma kitsikuses Issanda poole ja tema vastas mulle.
1{A Song of degrees.} In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.
2Issand, vabasta mu hing valetajaist huultest ja petisest keelest!
2Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.
3Mida anda sulle, mida lisada sulle, petis keel?
3What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
4Sangari teravaid nooli koos leetpõõsa tuliste sütega.
4Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.
5Häda mulle, et ma võõrana elan Mesekis, et ma viibin Keedari telkide keskel!
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6Juba kaua on mu hing elanud nende juures, kes vihkavad rahu.
6My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.
7Mina tahan rahu! Aga kui ma räägin, on nemad valmis sõjaks.
7I [am for] peace; but when I speak, *they* [are] for war.
