Psalm 120

English Standard Version

from Crossway

Deliver Me, O Lord

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me. (Ex 34:24; 1Ki 12:27; Isa 30:29) 

2 Deliver me, O Lord, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. 

3 What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? (1Sa 3:17) 

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! (Ps 45:5; Ps 127:4; Ps 140:10; Pr 25:22; Jer 50:9) 

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! (Ge 10:2; Ge 25:13; So 1:5; Isa 60:7; Jer 49:28; Eze 27:13; Eze 27:21; Eze 38:2; Eze 39:1) 

6 Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. 

7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! (Ps 109:4)

1 Píseň stupňů. K Hospodinu v ssoužení svém volal jsem,a vyslyšel mne. 

2 Hospodine, vysvoboď duši mou od rtů lživých, a od jazyka lstivého. 

3 Coť prospěje, aneb coť přidá jazyk lstivý, 

4 Podobný k střelám přeostrým silného,a k uhlí jalovcovému? 

5 Běda mně, že pohostinu býti musím v Mešech, a přebývati v saláších Cedarských. 

6 Dlouho bydlí duše má mezi těmi, kteříž nenávidí pokoje. 

7 Já ku pokoji, ale když mluvím, oni k boji.
