Psalms 120

1 In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

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

2 O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

4 The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

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

6 My soul hath been long a sojourner.

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

7 With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
