Psalms 120

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

われ困苦にあひてヱホバをよびしかば我にこたへたまへり

2 ‘Deliver me, Lord, from the lip that is false and the tongue that is crafty.’

ヱホバよねがはくは虚偽のくちびる欺詐の舌よりわが霊魂をたすけいだしたまへ

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

あざむきの舌よなんぢに何をあたへられ 何をくはへらるべきか

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

ますらをの利き箭と金萑花のあつき炭となり

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

わざはひなるかな我はメセクにやどりケダルの幕屋のかたはらに住めり

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

わがたましひは平安をにくむものと偕にすめり

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

われは平安をねがふ されど我ものいふときにかれら戰爭をこのむ
