Psalms 120

1 A Canticle in steps. When troubled, I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 O Lord, free my soul from lips of iniquity and from the 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 will be given to you, or what will be added to you, for a deceitful tongue?:

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 the sharp arrows of the powerful, along with the burning coals of desolation.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Woe to me, for my sojourning has been prolonged. I have lived with the inhabitants 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 With those who hated peace, I was peaceful. When I spoke to them, they fought against me without cause.

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
