Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

Hodočasnička pjesma Kad bijah u nevolji, Jahvi zavapih i on me usliša.

2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

Jahve, izbavi dušu moju od usana prijevarnih, od zlobna jezika!

3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

Jao meni što mi je boraviti u Mešeku i stanovati u šatorima kedarskim!

6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

7 I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
