Psalms 120

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

Svētku dziesma. Es piesaucu To Kungu savās bēdās, un Viņš mani paklausa.

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

Kungs, izglāb manu dvēseli no melkuļu lūpām un viltnieku mēlēm.

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

Ko viltīgā mēle Tev dos, jeb ko viņa Tev pieliks?

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

Tā ir kā varoņa asas bultas, kā degošas paegļu ogles.

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

Ak vai, man, ka esmu svešinieks iekš Mešeha, un ka man jādzīvo Kedara dzīvokļos.

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Par ilgu manai dvēselei dzīvot pie tiem, kas mieru ienīst.

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

Es turu mieru, bet tikko es runāju, tad tie ceļ ķildu.
