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.
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).

Psalm 120
New King James Version
Plea for Relief from Bitter Foes
A Song of Ascents.
120 In (A)my distress I cried to 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 to you,
Or what shall be done to you,
You false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the [a]warrior,
With coals of the broom tree!
5 Woe is me, that I dwell in (B)Meshech,
(C)That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul has dwelt too long
With one who hates peace.
7 I am for peace;
But when I speak, they are for war.
