Psalms 120

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

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

上主，求您救我脫離說謊者的口脣，上主，求您救我擺脫詭詐的舌根。

3 What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

我真不幸! 因為要在默舍客居住，要在刻達爾的帳幕寄宿。

6 Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

7 I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
