Psalmi 120

1 V svoji tegobi sem klical h Gospodu in me je slišal.

A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

2 Osvobodi mojo dušo, oh Gospod, pred lažnivimi ustnicami in pred varljivim jezikom.

O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

3 Kaj ti bo dano? Ali kaj ti bo storjeno, ti varljiv jezik?

What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

4 Ostre puščice mogočnega z brinovo žerjavico.

Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

5 Gorje meni, da se mudim v Mešehu, da prebivam v kedárskih šotorih!

Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

6 Moja duša je dolgo prebivala s tistim, ki sovraži mir.

My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

7 Jaz sem za mir, toda ko govorim, so oni za vojno.

I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
