Psalm 120
Lexham English Bible
Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
A song of ascents.[a]
120 In my distress I called to Yahweh,
and he answered me.
2 “Deliver my life, O Yahweh, from lying lips,
from a deceitful tongue.”
3 What shall be given to you,[b]
and what more shall be done to you,
deceitful tongue?
4 The sharpened arrows of a warrior,
with burning charcoals from broom trees.
5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.
6 Too long my soul has had its dwelling
near one who hates peace.
7 I am for peace, but when I speak,
they are for war.

Salmos 120

Salmo 120
La lengua engañosa y los enemigos de la paz
Cántico de ascenso gradual.[a]
120 En mi angustia clamé al Señor(A),
Y Él me respondió.
2 Libra mi alma, Señor, de labios mentirosos(B),
Y de lengua engañosa(C).
3 ¿Qué te dará, y qué te añadirá,
Oh lengua engañosa(D)?
4 Agudas flechas de guerrero(E),
Con brasas de enebro(F).
5 ¶¡Ay de mí, porque soy peregrino en Mesec(G),
Y habito entre las tiendas(H) de Cedar(I)!
6 Demasiado tiempo ha morado mi alma
Con los que odian la paz(J).
7 Yo amo la paz(K), pero cuando hablo,
Ellos están por la guerra(L).
Footnotes
- 120:0 Los Salmos 120 a 134 se llaman cánticos de ascenso gradual, probablemente porque se cantaban mientras los peregrinos subían a Jerusalén (véase Éx. 34:24; 1Rey. 12:27).
Psalm 120
King James Version
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.
