Salmos 120

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

A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

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

Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

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

How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

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

He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

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

Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

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

For too long I have lived with those who hate peace.

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

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