Psalmi 120

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers me.

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

O YHWH, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

3 Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

What does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!

4 Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with coals of broom trees.

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

Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.

7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.

I—peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
