Psalms 120

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

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

2 Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

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

3 What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

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

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

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

6 My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

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

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
