< Psalms 120 >

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers 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 O YHWH, deliver my soul from a lying lip, 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 does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!
詭詐的舌頭啊,要給你甚麼呢? 要拿甚麼加給你呢?
4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with coals of broom trees.
就是勇士的利箭和羅騰木 的炭火。
5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.
我寄居在米設, 住在基達帳棚之中,有禍了!
6 My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.
我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。
7 I—peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
我願和睦, 但我發言,他們就要爭戰。
