Psalm 120

New International Version

from Biblica

A song of ascents.

1 I call on the Lord in my distress, and he answers me. 

2 Save me, Lord, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. 

3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? 

4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. 

5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar! 

6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. 

7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for 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.
