Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

4 sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth 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.
