Psalms 120

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

われ困苦にあひてヱホバをよびしかば我にこたへたまへり

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

ヱホバよねがはくは虚偽のくちびる欺詐の舌よりわが霊魂をたすけいだしたまへ

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.

あざむきの舌よなんぢに何をあたへられ 何をくはへらるべきか

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.

ますらをの利き箭と金萑花のあつき炭となり

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

わざはひなるかな我はメセクにやどりケダルの幕屋のかたはらに住めり

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

わがたましひは平安をにくむものと偕にすめり

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

われは平安をねがふ されど我ものいふときにかれら戰爭をこのむ
