Psalm 120

New International Reader’s Version

A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord.

1 I call out to the LORD when I’m in trouble, and he answers me. 2 LORD, save me from people whose lips tell lies. Save me from people whose tongues don’t tell the truth. 3 What will the LORD do to you, you lying tongue? And what more will he do? 4 He will punish you with the sharp arrows of a soldier. He will punish you with burning coals from a desert bush. 5 How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshek! How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar! 6 I have lived too long among those who hate peace. 7 I want peace. But when I speak, they want war.

Psalm 120

Nya Levande Bibeln

from Biblica

Omgiven av lögnare

1 I mina svårigheter ropade jag till Gud om hjälp, och han hjälpte mig! 2 Herre, befria mig från alla lögnare och bedragare! 3 Ni lögnare, hur tror ni att ni ska kunna undgå Guds straff? 4 Nej, han ska straffa er med skarpa pilar och bränna er med glödande kol. 5-6 Att bo bland er är värre än att bo bland Meseks och Kedars folk. Alltför länge har jag bott bland folk som hatar fred. 7 Jag, däremot älskar freden, men så fort jag talar om den börjar ni strida.
