Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.

canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

2 Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue.

Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, Thou deceitful tongue?

quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

heu mihi quia incolatus meus prolongatus est habitavi cum habitationibus Cedar

6 My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

multum incola fuit anima mea

7 I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war.

cum his qui oderant pacem eram pacificus cum loquebar illis inpugnabant me gratis
