Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

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

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

7 I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
