المَزامِير 120

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ صَرَخْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِي فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي.

A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

٢ 2 نَجِّ نَفْسِي يَا رَبُّ مِنَ الشِّفَاهِ الْكَاذِبَةِ وَاللِّسَانِ الْمُنَافِقِ.

Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

٣ 3 أَيُّ نَفْعٍ يَأْتِينِي مِنَ اللِّسَانِ الغَشَّاشِ؟

How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

٤ 4 إِنَّهُ كَسِهَامِ الْجَبَّارِ الحَادَّةِ وَكَالْجَمْرِ الأَحْمَرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ.

He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

٥ 5 وَيْلِي لأَنِّي تَغَرَّبْتُ فِي مَاشِكَ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ.

Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

٦ 6 طَالَ سَكَنِي مَعَ أُنَاسٍ يُبْغِضُونَ السَّلامَ.

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

٧ 7 أَنَا رَجُلُ سَلامٍ، وَكُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ هَبُّوا هُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.

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