Psalmi 120

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

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3 Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?

4 Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

My soul has long been a sojourner;

7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.

I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
