詩篇 120

1 我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

“A song of the degrees.” Unto the Lord, when I was in distress, did I call, and he hath answered me.

2 上主，求您救我脫離說謊者的口脣，上主，求您救我擺脫詭詐的舌根。

O Lord, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, and from a tongue of deceit.

3 您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

What will [God] give unto thee? or what will he add unto thee, thou tongue of deceit?

4 只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

Sharpened arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom-bush.

5 我真不幸! 因為要在默舍客居住，要在刻達爾的帳幕寄宿。

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

Too long for herself hath my soul dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。

I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
