Psalms 120

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 O YHWH, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

上主，求您救我脫離說謊者的口脣，上主，求您救我擺脫詭詐的舌根。

3 What does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with coals of broom trees.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

我真不幸! 因為要在默舍客居住，要在刻達爾的帳幕寄宿。

6 My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

7 I—peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
