Psalms 120

1 When I had troubles, I called out to Yahweh and he answered me.

A Jehová llamé estando en angustia; y él me respondió.

2 [I prayed], “Yahweh, rescue/save me from people [SYN, MTY] who lie to me and [try to] deceive me!”

Jehová, escapa mi alma del labio mentiroso: de la lengua engañosa.

3 You people who lie to me, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what [God] will do to you and what he will do to punish you.

¿Qué te dará a ti, o qué te añadirá la lengua engañosa?

4 He will shoot sharp arrows at you like soldiers do, and he will [burn you with] red-hot coals from [the wood of] a broom tree.

Es como saetas de valiente agudas con brasas de enebros.

5 It is terrible for me, living among cruel/savage [DOU] people [like those who live] in Meshech [region] and Kedar [region].

¡Ay de mí que peregrino en Mesec: habito con las tiendas de Cedar!

6 I have lived for a long time among people who hate [to live with others] peacefully.

Mucho se detiene mi alma con los que aborrecen la paz.

7 Every time I talk about living together peacefully, they talk about starting a war.

Yo soy pacífico; y cuando hablo, ellos guerrean.
