Psalm 120
Common English Bible
Psalm 120
A pilgrimage song.[a]
120 I cried out to the Lord when I was in trouble
(and he answered me):
2 “Lord, deliver me[b] from lying lips
and a dishonest tongue!”
3 What more will be given to you,
what more will be done to you,
you dishonest tongue?
4 Just this:[c] a warrior’s sharpened arrows,
coupled with burning coals from a wood[d] fire!
5 Oh, I’m doomed
because I have been an immigrant in Meshech,
because I’ve made my home among Kedar’s tents.
6 I’ve lived far too long
with people who hate peace.
7 I’m for peace,
but when I speak, they are for war.

Psalm 120
A song of ascents.
1 I call on the Lord(A) in my distress,(B)

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,

among those who hate peace.

but when I speak, they are for war.

Salmos 120
La Biblia de las Américas
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 se te dará, y qué se te añadirá,
oh lengua engañosa(D)?
4 Agudas flechas de guerrero(E),
con brasas de enebro[b](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), mas cuando hablo,
ellos están por la guerra(L).

- Salmos 120:1 Los Salmos 120 a 134 se llaman cánticos de ascenso gradual, probablemente porque se cantaban mientras los peregrinos subían a Jerusalén (véase Ex. 34:24; 1 Rey. 12:27)
- Salmos 120:4 O, retama
