Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

١ تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ صَرَخْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِي فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي.

2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

٢ نَجِّ نَفْسِي يَا رَبُّ مِنَ الشِّفَاهِ الْكَاذِبَةِ وَاللِّسَانِ الْمُنَافِقِ.

3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

٣ أَيُّ نَفْعٍ يَأْتِينِي مِنَ اللِّسَانِ الغَشَّاشِ؟

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

٤ إِنَّهُ كَسِهَامِ الْجَبَّارِ الحَادَّةِ وَكَالْجَمْرِ الأَحْمَرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ.

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

٥ وَيْلِي لأَنِّي تَغَرَّبْتُ فِي مَاشِكَ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ.

6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

٦ طَالَ سَكَنِي مَعَ أُنَاسٍ يُبْغِضُونَ السَّلامَ.

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

٧ أَنَا رَجُلُ سَلامٍ، وَكُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ هَبُّوا هُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.
