Salmos 120

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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