Psalm 120:5–6

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.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech,

That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath long dwelt

With him that hateth peace.

5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech.

It pains me to live in distant Kedar.

6 I am tired of living

among people who hate peace.

5 Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech,

That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul has dwelt too long

With one who hates peace.

5 How terrible it is for me to live in the land of Meshech,

to live among the people of Kedar.

6 I have lived too long

with people who hate peace.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,

That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 My soul hath long had her dwelling

With him that hateth peace.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

5 How horrible it is to live as a foreigner in Meshech 

or to stay in the tents of Kedar. 

6 I have lived too long with those who hate peace. 

5 What misery that I have stayed in Meshech,

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar!

6 I have lived too long

with those who hate peace.

5 Woe is me, that I am an alien in Meshech,

that I must live among the tents of Kedar.

6 Too long have I had my dwelling

among those who hate peace.

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

6 Too long my soul has had its dwelling

near one who hates peace.

5 How terrible it is for me to live in the tents of the people of Meshech!

How terrible to live in the tents of the people of Kedar!

6 I have lived too long

among those who hate peace.

5 Woe is me, for I sojourn in Meshech,

For I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 Too long has my soul had its dwelling

With those who hate peace.
