Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

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

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

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

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

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

4 sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

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

5 heu mihi quia incolatus meus prolongatus est habitavi cum habitationibus Cedar

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

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

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