Psalms 120

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

Pesem preizvrstna. Gospoda sem klical v največji stiski svoji, in uslišal me je.

2 Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

Gospod, reši me ustne lažnjive, zvijačnega jezika.

3 How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

Kaj naj ti dá, ali kaj pridene jezik zvijačni?

4 He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

Besede podobne ostrim pušicam mogočnega, primérne žarjavici brinjevi.

5 Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

Gorjé meni, ker popotujem toliko časa, stanujem kakor prebivalci šatorov Kedarski.

6 For too long I have lived with those who hate peace.

Predolgo zdí se duši moji da je prebivala pri sovražniku mirú.

7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.

Jaz ljubim mir, ali ko govorim, kličejo oni na boj.
