Salmos 120

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

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

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

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

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

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 Frechas agudas do valente, com brazas vivas de zimbro.

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

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

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

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

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

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