Psalmi 120

1 Svētku dziesma. Es piesaucu To Kungu savās bēdās, un Viņš mani paklausa.

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

2 Kungs, izglāb manu dvēseli no melkuļu lūpām un viltnieku mēlēm.

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

3 Ko viltīgā mēle Tev dos, jeb ko viņa Tev pieliks?

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 Tā ir kā varoņa asas bultas, kā degošas paegļu ogles.

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 Ak vai, man, ka esmu svešinieks iekš Mešeha, un ka man jādzīvo Kedara dzīvokļos.

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

6 Par ilgu manai dvēselei dzīvot pie tiem, kas mieru ienīst.

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

7 Es turu mieru, bet tikko es runāju, tad tie ceļ ķildu.

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