Psalmi 120

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

A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

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

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

3 Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?

4 Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.

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