1 A Song of Ascents.2 In my distress I cry to the LORD, that he may answer me:3 "Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue."4 What shall be given to you? And what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?5 A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!6 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!7 Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. [ (Psalms 120:8) I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war! ]

1 Na minha angústia clamei ao Senhor, e me ouviu.2 Senhor, livra a minha alma dos lábios mentirosos e da língua enganadora.3 Que te será dado, ou que te será acrescentado, língua enganadora?4 Flechas agudas do poderoso, com brasas vivas de zimbro.5 Ai de mim, que peregrino em Meseque, e habito nas tendas de Quedar.6 A minha alma bastante tempo habitou com os que detestam a paz.7 Pacífico sou, mas quando eu falo já eles procuram a guerra.
