Salmos 120

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

[A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

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

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

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

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

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

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
