Dagiti Salmo 120

1 Iti pakarigatak immawagak kenni Yahweh, ket sinungbatannak.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.

2 Ispalem ti biagko, O Yahweh, kadagiti agul-ulbod kadagiti bibigda ken mangal-allilaw kadagiti dilada.

Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!

3 Anianto ti panangdusana kadakayo, ken anianto pay ngata ti aramidenna kadakayo, dakayo nga addaan iti naulbod a dila?

What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?

4 Panaennakayonto iti natirad a pana ti mannakigubat, a napanday manipud iti dumardarang a beggang iti enebro.

With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.

5 Asiak pay gapu ta nagnaedak iti apagbiit idiay Mesek; nagnaedak idi kadagiti tolda ti Kedar.

I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.

6 Ta nabayag a nakipagnaedak kadagiti manggur-gura iti kapia.

I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.

7 Kayatko ti kapia, ngem no agsaoak, gubat ti kayatda.

I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.
