Psalms 120

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

Na minha angústia clamei ao Senhor, e me ouviu.

2 Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Senhor, livra a minha alma dos lábios mentirosos e da língua enganadora.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

Que te será dado, ou que te será acrescentado, língua enganadora?

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

Flechas agudas do valente, com brazas vivas de zimbro.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

Ai de mim, que peregrino em Mesech, e habito nas tendas de Kedar.

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

A minha alma bastante tempo habitou com os que detestam a paz.

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

Pacífico sou, porém quando eu falo já eles procuram guerra.
