< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he answered 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 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] 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 shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou 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 the mighty, with coals of juniper.
就是勇士的利箭和羅騰木 的炭火。
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
我寄居在米設, 住在基達帳棚之中,有禍了!
6 My soul hath long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。
7 I am [for] peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
我願和睦, 但我發言,他們就要爭戰。
