Salmos 120

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

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

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

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents 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.

I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
