Psalmi 120

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

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

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

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

3 Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

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

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
