Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

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 What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?

您這詭詐的口舌，究竟怎樣對待付您？究竟怎樣懲治您？

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

只有勇士的矢箭，還有杜松的火炭！

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

我真不幸! 因為要在默舍客居住，要在刻達爾的帳幕寄宿。

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

因與憎惡和平的人相處，我的靈魂已經感到太久。

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

我言談無非和平，他們卻鼓勵戰爭。
