Psalmi 120

1 Hodočasnička pjesma Kad bijah u nevolji, Jahvi zavapih i on me usliša.

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.

2 Jahve, izbavi dušu moju od usana prijevarnih, od zlobna jezika!

Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue.

3 Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

4 Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

5 Jao meni što mi je boraviti u Mešeku i stanovati u šatorima kedarskim!

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

6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.

I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
