King James Version
Masoretic-derived · highlighted where altered
1A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.
1In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.
2My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
2Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3Let not thy foot be moved; and let not thy keeper slumber.
3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5The Lord shall keep thee: the Lord is thy shelter upon thy right hand.
5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6The sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.
6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7May the Lord preserve thee from all evil: the Lord shall keep thy soul.
7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
