Psalms 120

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

Na minha angústia clamei ao Senhor, e me ouviu.

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

Senhor, livra a minha alma dos lábios mentirosos e da língua enganadora.

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

Que te será dado, ou que te será acrescentado, língua enganadora?

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

Flechas agudas do valente, com brazas vivas de zimbro.

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

Ai de mim, que peregrino em Mesech, e habito nas tendas de Kedar.

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

A minha alma bastante tempo habitou com os que detestam a paz.

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

Pacífico sou, porém quando eu falo já eles procuram guerra.
