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

When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered 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

[I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

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

You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

4 ますらをの利き箭と金萑花のあつき炭となり

He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

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

It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

6 わがたましひは平安をにくむものと偕にすめり

I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

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

Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
