المَزامِير 120

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

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

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

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

٣ 3 أَيُّ نَفْعٍ يَأْتِينِي مِنَ اللِّسَانِ الغَشَّاشِ؟

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

٤ 4 إِنَّهُ كَسِهَامِ الْجَبَّارِ الحَادَّةِ وَكَالْجَمْرِ الأَحْمَرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

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

٦ 6 طَالَ سَكَنِي مَعَ أُنَاسٍ يُبْغِضُونَ السَّلامَ.

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

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