Psalms 120

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

Cántico gradual. A JEHOVÁ llamé estando en angustia, y él me respondió.

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

Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, de labio mentiroso, de la lengua fraudulenta.

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

¿Qué te dará, ó qué te aprovechará, oh lengua engañosa?

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

Agudas saetas de valiente, con brasas de enebro.

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

¡Ay de mí, que peregrino en Mesech, [y] habito entre las tiendas de Kedar!

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

Mucho se detiene mi alma con los que aborrecen la paz.

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

Yo soy pacífico: mas ellos, así que hablo, [me] hacen guerra.
