Psalms 120

1 [the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.

(Sang til Festrejserne.) Jeg råbte til HERREN i Nød, og han svarede mig.

2 O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.

HERRE, udfri min Sjæl fra Løgnelæber, fra den falske Tunge!

3 What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.

Der ramme dig dette og hint, du falske Tunge!

4 Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.

Den stærkes Pile er hvæsset ved glødende Gyvel.

5 Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.

Ve mig, at jeg må leve som fremmed i Mesjek, bo iblandt Kedars Telte!

6 Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.

Min Sjæl har længe nok boet blandt Folk, som hader Fred.

7 I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.

Jeg vil Fred; men taler jeg, vil de Krig!
