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.

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

2 O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

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

3 What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

4 Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

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

6 My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

7 I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
