Psalms 120

1 A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull 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 doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes 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 soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

7 I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
