祈求上帝帮助

上圣殿朝圣之诗。

120 我在患难中向耶和华祷告,
祂就应允了我。
耶和华啊,
求你救我远离虚谎诡诈之徒。
诡诈之徒啊!
你会受到怎样的惩罚呢?
你会有什么下场呢?
等待你的是勇士的利箭和炙热的炭火。
我寄居在米设和基达的人当中有祸了!
我住在憎恶和平的人当中太久了。
我爱和平,
但我倡导和平的时候,
他们却要战争。

120 In my troubles I pled with God to help me and he did!

Deliver me, O Lord, from liars. O lying tongue, what shall be your fate? You shall be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.[a]

5-6 My troubles pile high among these haters of the Lord, these men of Meshech and Kedar. I am tired of being here among these men who hate peace. I am for peace, but they are for war, and my voice goes unheeded in their councils.
