Chapter 120

¹A Song of Ascents. In my trouble I cried to the LORD, And He answered me.

¹（上行（或作登階，下同）之詩。）我在急難中求告耶和華，他就應允我。

²Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, From a deceitful tongue.

²耶和華啊，求你救我脫離說謊的嘴唇和詭詐的舌頭！

³What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, You deceitful tongue?

³詭詐的舌頭啊，要給你甚麼呢？要拿甚麼加給你呢？

⁴Sharp arrows of the warrior, With the [burning] coals of the broom tree.

⁴就是勇士的利箭和羅騰木（小樹名，松類）的炭火。

⁵Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech, For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁵我寄居在米設，住在基達帳棚之中，有禍了！

⁶Too long has my soul had its dwelling With those who hate peace.

⁶我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。

⁷I am [for] peace, but when I speak, They are for war.

⁷我願和睦，但我發言，他們就要爭戰。
