Salmos 120

1 Cántico gradual. A JEHOVÁ llamé estando en angustia, y él me respondió.

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

2 Libra mi alma, oh Jehová, de labio mentiroso, de la lengua fraudulenta.

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

3 ¿Qué te dará, ó qué te aprovechará, oh lengua engañosa?

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

4 Agudas saetas de valiente, con brasas de enebro.

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

5 ¡Ay de mí, que peregrino en Mesech, [y] habito entre las tiendas de Kedar!

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

6 Mucho se detiene mi alma con los que aborrecen la paz.

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

7 Yo soy pacífico: mas ellos, así que hablo, [me] hacen guerra.

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