< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.
上行(或譯登階,下同)之詩。 我在急難中求告耶和華, 他就應允我。
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
耶和華啊,求你救我脫離說謊的嘴唇和詭詐的舌頭!
3 What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?
詭詐的舌頭啊,要給你甚麼呢? 要拿甚麼加給你呢?
4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.
就是勇士的利箭和羅騰木 的炭火。
5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.
我寄居在米設, 住在基達帳棚之中,有禍了!
6 My soul has long been a sojourner;
我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。
7 I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
我願和睦, 但我發言,他們就要爭戰。
