Psalms 120

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

Um Canto de Ascensões. Na minha angústia, chorei a Javé. Ele me respondeu.

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

Entregar minha alma, Yahweh, de lábios mentirosos, de uma língua enganosa.

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.

O que será dado a você e o que será feito mais a você, sua língua enganosa?

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.

Setas afiadas dos poderosos, com brasas de zimbro.

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

Ai de mim, que vivo em Meshech, que eu moro entre as barracas de Kedar!

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

Minha alma já tem sua morada há muito tempo com aquele que odeia a paz.

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

Eu sou pela paz, mas quando eu falo, eles são a favor da guerra.
