Psalmi 120

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

When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.

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

[I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

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

You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

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

He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

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

It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

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

I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

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

Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.
