< Psalms 120 >

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.
上行(或譯登階,下同)之詩。 我在急難中求告耶和華, 他就應允我。
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.
耶和華啊,求你救我脫離說謊的嘴唇和詭詐的舌頭!
3 What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?
詭詐的舌頭啊,要給你甚麼呢? 要拿甚麼加給你呢?
4 Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
就是勇士的利箭和羅騰木 的炭火。
5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!
我寄居在米設, 住在基達帳棚之中,有禍了!
6 Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.
我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。
7 I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
我願和睦, 但我發言,他們就要爭戰。
