Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

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

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth 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.
