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.

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.

La souffrance de l’exilé
120 Chant des montées.
Dans ma détresse, c’est à l’Eternel
que j’ai crié, et il m’a répondu.
2 Eternel, délivre-moi des lèvres fausses,
de la langue trompeuse!
3 Que te donnera l’Eternel et que t’ajoutera-t-il,
langue trompeuse?
4 Les flèches aiguës du guerrier
avec des charbons ardents de genêt!
5 Malheur à moi! J’ai dû séjourner à Méshec,
habiter parmi les tentes de Kédar!
6 J’ai habité trop longtemps
avec ceux qui détestent la paix.
7 Je suis pour la paix, mais quand j’en parle,
ils sont pour la guerre.
