< Psalms 120 >

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers me.
上行(或作登阶,下同)之诗。 我在急难中求告耶和华, 他就应允我。
2 O YHWH, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!
耶和华啊,求你救我脱离说谎的嘴唇和诡诈的舌头!
3 What does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!
诡诈的舌头啊,要给你什么呢? 要拿什么加给你呢?
4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with coals of broom trees.
就是勇士的利箭和罗腾木 的炭火。
5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.
我寄居在米设, 住在基达帐棚之中,有祸了!
6 My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.
我与那恨恶和睦的人许久同住。
7 I—peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
我愿和睦, 但我发言,他们就要争战。
