Psalms 120
Psalms is the Bible's book of songs and prayers — 150 poems of lament, praise, protest and thanksgiving, gathered over centuries. Individual psalms are short, which makes them a natural place to start reading.
我在急难中求告耶和华, 他就应允我。
wǒ zài jí nàn zhōng qiú gào yē hé huá , tā jiù yīng yǔn wǒ 。
In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
耶和华啊,求你救我脱离说谎的嘴唇和诡诈的舌头!
yē hé huá a , qiú nǐ jiù wǒ tuō lí shuō huǎng de zuǐ chún hé guǐ zhà de shé tou !
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
诡诈的舌头啊,要给你什么呢? 要拿什么加给你呢?
guǐ zhà de shé tou a , yào gěi nǐ shén me ne ? yào ná shén me jiā gěi nǐ ne ?
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
就是勇士的利箭和罗腾木 的炭火。
jiù shì yǒng shì de lì jiàn hé luó téng mù de tàn huǒ 。
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
我寄居在米设, 住在基达帐棚之中,有祸了!
wǒ jì jū zài mǐ shè , zhù zài jī dá zhàng peng zhī zhōng , yǒu huò le !
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
我与那恨恶和睦的人许久同住。
wǒ yǔ nà hèn wù hé mù de rén xǔ jiǔ tóng zhù 。
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
我愿和睦, 但我发言,他们就要争战。
wǒ yuàn hé mù , dàn wǒ fā yán , tā men jiù yào zhēng zhàn 。
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
