Psalmi 120

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

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

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

O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, 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 broom.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

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

7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.

I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
