Salmos 120

1 Na minha angustia clamei ao Senhor, e me ouviu.

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

2 Senhor, livra a minha alma dos labios mentirosos e da lingua enganadora.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

3 Que te será dado, ou que te será accrescentado, lingua enganadora?

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 Frechas agudas do valente, com brazas vivas de zimbro.

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

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

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

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

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

7 Pacifico sou, porém quando eu fallo já elles procuram guerra.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
