Psalmi 120

1 V svoji tegobi sem klical h Gospodu in me je slišal.

[A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to Jehovah. He answered me.

2 Osvobodi mojo dušo, oh Gospod, pred lažnivimi ustnicami in pred varljivim jezikom.

Deliver my soul, Jehovah, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 Kaj ti bo dano? Ali kaj ti bo storjeno, ti varljiv jezik?

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

4 Ostre puščice mogočnega z brinovo žerjavico.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 Gorje meni, da se mudim v Mešehu, da prebivam v kedárskih šotorih!

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

6 Moja duša je dolgo prebivala s tistim, ki sovraži mir.

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

7 Jaz sem za mir, toda ko govorim, so oni za vojno.

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