Psalmi 120

1 Ka Gospodu zavikah u nevolji svojoj, i usliši me.

A Song of Ascents. Unto Yahweh, in the distress that befell me, I cried—and he answered me.

2 Gospode! izbavi dušu moju od usta lažljivijeh i od jezika lukavoga.

O Yahweh! rescue thou my soul—from the false lip, from the deceitful tongue.

3 Šta æe ti dati i šta æe ti prinijeti jezik lukavi?

What shall be given to thee, and what shall be added to thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 On je kao oštre strijele u jakoga, kao ugljevlje smrekovo.

The arrows of the hero sharpened, with burning coals of broom.

5 Teško meni kad sam tuðin kod Meseha, živim kod šatora Kidarskih.

Woe is me, That I sojourn in Meshek, —That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

6 Dugo je živjela duša moja s onima koji mrze na mir.

Long, hath my soul had her dwelling with him that hateth peace:

7 Ja sam miran; ali kad stanem govoriti, u njih je rat.

I, am for peace, and verily I speak, They, are for war!
