< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.
上行(或譯登階,下同)之詩。 我在急難中求告耶和華, 他就應允我。
2 O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.
耶和華啊,求你救我脫離說謊的嘴唇和詭詐的舌頭!
3 What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?
詭詐的舌頭啊,要給你甚麼呢? 要拿甚麼加給你呢?
4 Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.
就是勇士的利箭和羅騰木 的炭火。
5 Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.
我寄居在米設, 住在基達帳棚之中,有禍了!
6 My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.
我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。
7 I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
我願和睦, 但我發言,他們就要爭戰。
