Psalms 120

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

Na minha angústia clamei ao Senhor, e me ouviu.

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

Senhor, livra a minha alma dos lábios mentirosos e da língua enganadora.

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

Que te será dado, ou que te será acrescentado, língua enganadora?

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

Flechas agudas do valente, com brazas vivas de zimbro.

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

Ai de mim, que peregrino em Mesech, e habito nas tendas de Kedar.

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

A minha alma bastante tempo habitou com os que detestam a paz.

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

Pacífico sou, porém quando eu falo já eles procuram guerra.
