Salmos 120

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

A Canticle in steps. When troubled, I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me.

2 Senhor, livra a minha alma dos lábios mentirosos e da língua enganadora.

O Lord, free my soul from lips of iniquity and from the deceitful tongue.

3 Que te será dado, ou que te será acrescentado, língua enganadora?

What will be given to you, or what will be added to you, for a deceitful tongue?:

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

the sharp arrows of the powerful, along with the burning coals of desolation.

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

Woe to me, for my sojourning has been prolonged. I have lived with the inhabitants of Kedar.

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

My soul has long been a sojourner.

7 Pacífico sou, porém quando eu falo já eles procuram guerra.

With those who hated peace, I was peaceful. When I spoke to them, they fought against me without cause.
