Salmos 120

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

A song of ascents. In distress I cried to the Lord, and he answered me.

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

‘Deliver me, Lord, from the lip that is false and the tongue that is crafty.’

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

What shall he give to you, you tongue that is crafty? What yet shall he give to you?

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

Arrows of warrior, sharpened, with glowing broom coals together.

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

Woe is me that I sojourn in Meshech, that I live by the tents of Kedar.

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

Already too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

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

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