Psalms 120

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

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

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

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

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

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

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

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

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

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

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

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

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

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
