Salmos 120

1 Cántico gradual. A Yahvé clamé en medio de mi tribulación y Él me escuchó.

A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

2 Yahvé, libra mi alma del labio engañoso, de la lengua astuta.

Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

3 ¿Qué te dará o qué te añadirá (Yahvé), oh lengua astuta?

How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

4 Saetas de un potente aguzadas en ascuas de retama.

He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

5 ¡Ay de mí, advenedizo en Mósoc, alojado en las tiendas de Cedar!

Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

6 Demasiado tiempo ha habitado mi alma entre los que odian la paz.

For too long I have lived with those who hate peace.

7 Yo soy hombre de paz; apenas hablo, y ellos mueven la guerra.

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