Psalms 120

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

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

2 O Lord, free my soul from lips of iniquity and from the deceitful tongue.

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

3 What will be given to you, or what will be added to you, for a deceitful tongue?:

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

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

Agudas saetas de valiente, con brasas de enebro.

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

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