Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.

Cântico dos degraus: Em minha angústia clamei ao SENHOR, e ele me respondeu.

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Ó SENHOR, livra minha alma dos lábios mentirosos, da língua enganadora.

3 What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?

O que ele te dará, e o que ele fará contigo, ó língua enganadora?

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

Flechas afiadas de um guerreiro, com brasas de zimbro.

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

Ai de mim, que peregrino em Meseque, [e] habito nas tendas de Quedar!

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Minha alma morou [tempo] demais com os que odeiam a paz.

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

Eu sou da paz; mas quando falo, eles [entram] em guerra.
