Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

我受難時一呼求上主，祂就俯聽了我的呼求。

2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, 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 will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful 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 live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst 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 has had her dwelling too long with him who hates 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。
