< Psalms 120 >
1 In my trouble I cried 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, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a 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 shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to 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 mighty, with coals that lay waste.
只有勇士的矢箭,還有杜松的火炭!
5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:
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 hath been long a sojourner.
因與憎惡和平的人相處,我的靈魂已經感到太久。
7 With them that hate peace I was peaceable: 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。
