Psalms 120

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

Cántico gradual. A JEHOVÁ llamé estando en angustia, y él me respondió.

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

Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, de labio mentiroso, de la lengua fraudulenta.

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

¿Qué te dará, ó qué te aprovechará, oh lengua engañosa?

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

Agudas saetas de valiente, con brasas de enebro.

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

¡Ay de mí, que peregrino en Mesech, [y] habito entre las tiendas de Kedar!

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

Mucho se detiene mi alma con los que aborrecen la paz.

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

Yo soy pacífico: mas ellos, así que hablo, [me] hacen guerra.
