Psalms 120

1 When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 [I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

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 You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

我真不幸! 因為要在默舍客居住，要在刻達爾的帳幕寄宿。

6 I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

7 Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
