詩篇 120

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

祈求上帝幫助

上聖殿朝聖之詩。

120 我在患難中向耶和華禱告，
祂就應允了我。
²耶和華啊，
求你救我遠離虛謊詭詐之徒。
³詭詐之徒啊！
你會受到怎樣的懲罰呢？
你會有什麼下場呢？
⁴等待你的是勇士的利箭和炙熱的炭火。
⁵我寄居在米設和基達的人當中有禍了！
⁶我住在憎惡和平的人當中太久了。
⁷我愛和平，
但我倡導和平的時候，
他們卻要戰爭。

Psalm 120

EasyEnglish Bible

A song to sing as we climb.

Lord, please help me^[a]

120 I cried to the Lord to help me in my trouble.
    He answered me.
²I prayed, ‘Lord, keep me safe from people who tell lies.
    Save me from people who want to deceive me.’
³How will God punish you,
    you people who deceive others?
He will punish you properly!
⁴Yes, the sharp arrows of a soldier will hurt you.
    They will give you pain, like wood that burns with fire.
⁵I am so sad! I live in Meshek as a stranger.
    I live among the people of Kedar.
⁶I have lived too long with people that hate peace.
⁷I want to live here in peace.
    But when I say this, they only want war!

Footnotes

120:1 Psalms 120-134 are called ‘Climbing Songs’. People probably sang them as they went towards God's Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple was high up, so people had to walk up the hill, like they were climbing. When people sang these songs, they were preparing to worship God in his Temple.
