Psalm 120
New International Version
Psalm 120
A song of ascents.
1 I call on the Lord(A) in my distress,(B)
and he answers me.
2 Save me, Lord,
from lying lips(C)
and from deceitful tongues.(D)
3 What will he do to you,
and what more besides,
you deceitful tongue?
4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,(E)
with burning coals of the broom bush.
5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!(F)
6 Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.

Bön om hjälp mot lögnare
120 En pilgrimssång[a].
Jag ropar till Herren i min nöd,
och han svarar mig.
2 Herre, rädda min själ
från lögnaktiga läppar,
från falska tungor!
3 [b]Vad ska han ge dig,
och vad mer ska du få,
du falska tunga?
4 [c]Krigarens skarpa pilar
och glödande ginstkol[d].
5 Ve mig som bor i Mesheks land,
som lever bland Kedars hyddor![e]
6 Länge nog har min själ bott
bland dem som hatar frid.
7 Jag vill ha frid,
men säger jag ett ord
är de redo till strid.

120 In my distress I cried unto the Lord, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
