Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. Unto Yahweh, in the distress that befell me, I cried—and he answered me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 O Yahweh! rescue thou my soul—from the false lip, from the deceitful tongue.

上主，求您救我脫離說謊者的口脣，上主，求您救我擺脫詭詐的舌根。

3 What shall be given to thee, and what shall be added to thee, thou deceitful tongue?

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 The arrows of the hero sharpened, with burning coals of broom.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Woe is me, That I sojourn in Meshek, —That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

我真不幸! 因為要在默舍客居住，要在刻達爾的帳幕寄宿。

6 Long, hath my soul had her dwelling with him that hateth peace:

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

7 I, am for peace, and verily I speak, They, are for war!

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
