< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.
Cântico dos degraus: Em minha angústia clamei ao SENHOR, e ele me respondeu.
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
Ó SENHOR, livra minha alma dos lábios mentirosos, da língua enganadora.
3 What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?
O que ele te dará, e o que ele fará contigo, ó língua enganadora?
4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.
Flechas afiadas de um guerreiro, com brasas de zimbro.
5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.
Ai de mim, que peregrino em Meseque, [e] habito nas tendas de Quedar!
6 My soul has long been a sojourner;
Minha alma morou [tempo] demais com os que odeiam a paz.
7 I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
Eu sou da paz; mas quando falo, eles [entram] em guerra.
