Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

Hodočasnička pjesma Kad bijah u nevolji, Jahvi zavapih i on me usliša.

2 Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Jahve, izbavi dušu moju od usana prijevarnih, od zlobna jezika!

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

Jao meni što mi je boraviti u Mešeku i stanovati u šatorima kedarskim!

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

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

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
