Psalmen 120
Schlachter 1951
PSALM 120
Leidvolles Leben unter Fremdherrschaft
120 Ein Wallfahrtslied[a].
Ich rief zum Herrn in meiner Not,
und er erhörte mich.
2 Herr, rette meine Seele von den Lügenmäulern,
von den falschen Zungen!
3 Was kann dir anhaben und was noch weiter tun
die falsche Zunge?
4 Sie ist wie scharfe Pfeile eines Starken
aus glühendem Ginsterholz.
5 Wehe mir, daß ich in der Fremde zu Mesech weilen,
daß ich bei den Zelten Kedars wohnen muß!
6 Lange genug hat meine Seele bei denen gewohnt,
die den Frieden hassen!
7 Ich bin für den Frieden; doch wenn ich rede,
so sind sie für den Krieg.

Prayer for Rescue from the Treacherous.
A Song of [a]Ascents.
120 (A)I cried to the Lord in my trouble,

From a (C)deceitful tongue.
3 What will He give to you, and what more will He do to you,
You (D)deceitful tongue?
4 (E)Sharp arrows of the warrior,
With the burning (F)coals of the broom tree!
5 Woe to me, for I reside in (G)Meshech,
For I have settled among the (H)tents of (I)Kedar!

With those who (J)hate peace.
7 I (K)am for peace, but when I speak,
They are (L)for war.
