詩篇 120

1 われ困苦にあひてヱホバをよびしかば我にこたへたまへり

In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

2 ヱホバよねがはくは虚偽のくちびる欺詐の舌よりわが霊魂をたすけいだしたまへ

O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

3 あざむきの舌よなんぢに何をあたへられ 何をくはへらるべきか

What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

4 ますらをの利き箭と金萑花のあつき炭となり

The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

5 わざはひなるかな我はメセクにやどりケダルの幕屋のかたはらに住めり

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

6 わがたましひは平安をにくむものと偕にすめり

My soul hath been long a sojourner.

7 われは平安をねがふ されど我ものいふときにかれら戰爭をこのむ

With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
