| | 1 | （上行（或作登阶。下同）之诗。）我在急难中求告耶和华，他就应允我。
A song of ascents. I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. | |
| | 2 | 耶和华阿，求你救我脱离说谎的嘴唇，和诡诈的舌头。
Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. | |
| | 3 | 诡诈的舌头阿，要给你什么呢？要拿什么加给你呢？
What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? | |
| | 4 | 就是勇士的利箭，和罗腾木的炭火（罗腾小树名松类）。
He will punish you with a warrior's sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. | |
| | 5 | 我寄居在米设，住在基达帐棚之中，有祸了。
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar! | |
| | 6 | 我与那恨恶和睦的人，许久同住。
Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. | |
| | 7 | 我愿和睦。但我发言，他们就要争战。
I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war. | |
