Psalm 120

A song of ascents.

I call on the Lord(A) in my distress,(B)
    and he answers me.
Save me, Lord,
    from lying lips(C)
    and from deceitful tongues.(D)

What will he do to you,
    and what more besides,
    you deceitful tongue?
He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,(E)
    with burning coals of the broom bush.

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
    that I live among the tents of Kedar!(F)
Too long have I lived
    among those who hate peace.
I am for peace;
    but when I speak, they are for war.

求主救脱诳言诡舌之人

120 上行[a]之诗。

我在急难中求告耶和华,他就应允我。
耶和华啊,求你救我脱离说谎的嘴唇和诡诈的舌头。
诡诈的舌头啊,要给你什么呢?要拿什么加给你呢?
就是勇士的利箭和罗腾木[b]的炭火。
我寄居在米设,住在基达帐篷之中有祸了!
我与那恨恶和睦的人许久同住。
我愿和睦,但我发言,他们就要争战。
