Psalms 120

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

Cántico gradual. A JEHOVÁ llamé estando en angustia, y él me respondió.

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

Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, de labio mentiroso, de la lengua fraudulenta.

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

¿Qué te dará, ó qué te aprovechará, oh lengua engañosa?

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

Agudas saetas de valiente, con brasas de enebro.

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

¡Ay de mí, que peregrino en Mesech, [y] habito entre las tiendas de Kedar!

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Mucho se detiene mi alma con los que aborrecen la paz.

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

Yo soy pacífico: mas ellos, así que hablo, [me] hacen guerra.
