Salmos 120

1 Cântico dos degraus: Em minha angústia clamei ao SENHOR, e ele me respondeu.

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

2 Ó SENHOR, livra minha alma dos lábios mentirosos, da língua enganadora.

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3 O que ele te dará, e o que ele fará contigo, ó língua enganadora?

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

4 Flechas afiadas de um guerreiro, com brasas de zimbro.

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

5 Ai de mim, que peregrino em Meseque, [e] habito nas tendas de Quedar!

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

6 Minha alma morou [tempo] demais com os que odeiam a paz.

My soul has long been a sojourner;

7 Eu sou da paz; mas quando falo, eles [entram] em guerra.

I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
