Psalmi 120

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

“A psalm of steps.” In my distress I called upon the LORD, And he answered me.

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

O LORD! deliver me from lying lips, From the deceitful tongue!

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

What profit to thee, Or what advantage to thee, is the false tongue?

4 Ostre puščice mogočnega z brinovo žerjavico.

It is like the sharp arrows of the mighty man; Like coals of the juniper.

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

Alas for me, that I sojourn in Mesech, That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

Too long have I dwelt With them that hate peace!

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

I am for peace; yet, when I speak for it, They are for war.
