Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to 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 unjust lips, and from 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 should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled 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 My soul has long been a sojourner;

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

7 I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
