Salmos 120

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

In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

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

O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

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

The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

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

My soul hath been long a sojourner.

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

With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
