< Psalmi 120 >
1 Hodočasnička pjesma Kad bijah u nevolji, Jahvi zavapih i on me usliša.
A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
2 Jahve, izbavi dušu moju od usana prijevarnih, od zlobna jezika!
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3 Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful 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 live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar!
6 Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7 Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
