1 Jeg råbte til HERREN i Nød, og han svarede mig.

1 A Song of Ascents.In my trouble I cried to the Lord,And He answered me.

2 HERRE, udfri min Sjæl fra Løgnelæber, fra den falske Tunge!

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips,From a deceitful tongue.

3 Der ramme dig dette og hint, du falske Tunge!

3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you,You deceitful tongue?

4 Den stærkes Pile er hvæsset ved glødende Gyvel.

4 Sharp arrows of the warrior,With the burning coals of the broom tree.

5 Ve mig, at jeg må leve som fremmed i Mesjek, bo iblandt Kedars Telte!

5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 Min Sjæl har længe nok boet blandt Folk, som hader Fred.

6 Too long has my soul had its dwellingWith those who hate peace.

7 Jeg vil Fred; men taler jeg, vil de Krig! 

7 I am for peace, but when I speak,They are for war.
