King James Version
KJV
[1] When I was in trouble I called vpon God: and he hearde me [1]In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
[2]Deliuer my soule O God from false lyppes: & from a deceiptful tongue [2]Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
[3]What doth a deceiptfull tongue vnto thee? what good bryngeth it thee [3]What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
[4][So much] as sharpe arrowes of a strong man [in thy sydes:] with Iuniper coales [powred on thy head. [4]Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
[5]Wo be vnto me that am constrayned to be conuersaunt in Mesech: and to dwell among the tentes of Cedar [5]Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
[6]My soule hath dwelt long: with hym that hateth peace [6]My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
[7]I [am a man] of peace: but because I do speake therof, they [prepare] them selues to battayle [7]I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
