Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

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

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

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

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

Kojim zlom da te prokunem, zlobni jeziče?

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

Strelicama oštrim iz ratničke ruke i ugljevljem žarkim.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

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

6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

Predugo mi duša mora živjeti s mrziteljima mira.

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

Kada o miru govorim, oni sile na rat.
