Psalm 120

Contemporary English Version

(A song for worship.)

A Prayer for the Lord's Help

¹When I am in trouble, I pray,
²“Come and save me, Lord,
from deceitful liars!”

³What punishment is fitting
for you deceitful liars?
⁴Your reward should be
sharp and flaming arrows!

⁵But I must live as a foreigner
among the people of Meshech
    and in the tents of Kedar.^[a]
⁶I have spent too much time
living among people
    who hate peace.
⁷I am in favor of peace,
but when I speak of it,
    all they want is war.

诗篇 120

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

祈求　神拯救脫離詭詐的人

朝聖之歌（原文作“往上行之歌”）。

120 我在急難中呼求耶和華，

他就應允我。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）

²耶和華啊！求你救我脫離說謊的嘴唇，

救我脫離詭詐的舌頭。

³詭詐的舌頭啊！他要給你甚麼呢？

他要加給你甚麼呢？

⁴就是勇士的利箭，

和羅騰木燒的炭火。

⁵我寄居在米設，

住在基達的帳棚中，有禍了。

⁶我和恨惡和平的人，

同住得太久。

⁷我希望有和平，

但我一說話，他們就要爭戰。
