Psalms 120

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

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

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

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

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

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

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

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

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

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

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

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

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

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
