Psalmi 120

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

In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

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

O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

3 Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

4 Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

My soul hath been long a sojourner.

7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.

With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
