Psalms 120

1 A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

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 punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false 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 of the strong, and burning fire.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in 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 My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

7 I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
