詩篇 120

1 上行（或譯登階，下同）之詩。 我在急難中求告耶和華， 他就應允我。

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.

2 耶和華啊，求你救我脫離說謊的嘴唇和詭詐的舌頭！

Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!

3 詭詐的舌頭啊，要給你甚麼呢？ 要拿甚麼加給你呢？

What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?

4 就是勇士的利箭和羅騰木 的炭火。

With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.

5 我寄居在米設， 住在基達帳棚之中，有禍了！

I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.

6 我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。

I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.

7 我願和睦， 但我發言，他們就要爭戰。

I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.
