Deliver Me, O Lord

A Song of Ascents.

from Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft

Hilferuf gegen Verleumder

1 Ein Wallfahrtslied. Ich rufe zu dem HERRN in meiner Not und er erhört mich. 2 HERR, errette mich von den Lügenmäulern, von den falschen Zungen. 3 Was soll er dir antun, du falsche Zunge, und was dir noch geben? 4 Scharfe Pfeile eines Starken und feurige Kohlen! 5 Weh mir, dass ich ein Fremdling bin unter Meschech; ich muss wohnen bei den Zelten Kedars! 6 Es wird meiner Seele lang, zu wohnen bei denen, die den Frieden hassen. 7 Ich halte Frieden; aber wenn ich rede, so fangen sie Krieg an.

Psalm 120

Nuova Riveduta 2006

from Società Biblica di Ginevra

Sofferenza del deportato

1 Canto dei pellegrinaggi. Nella mia angoscia ho invocato il Signore, ed egli mi ha risposto. 2 Signore, libera l’anima mia dalle labbra bugiarde, dalla lingua ingannatrice. 3 Che ti sarà dato e che ti sarà aggiunto, lingua ingannatrice? 4 Frecce appuntite di guerriero, con carboni di ginepro. 5 Misero me che soggiorno in Mesec e abito fra le tende di Chedar! 6 L’anima mia troppo a lungo ha dimorato con chi odia la pace! 7 Io sono per la pace; ma, quando parlo, essi sono per la guerra.
