Psalmi 120

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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