Psalmi 120

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

A song of ascents. In distress I cried to the Lord, and he answered me.

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

“Deliver me, Lord, from the lip that is false and the tongue that is crafty.”

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

What shall he give to you, you tongue that is crafty? What yet shall he give to you?

4 Ostre puščice mogočnega z brinovo žerjavico.

Arrows of warrior, sharpened, with glowing broom coals together.

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

Woe is me that I sojourn in Meshech, that I live by the tents of Kedar.

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

Already too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

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

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