< Psalms 120 >

1 In my distress I cried to Jehovah, and he answered me.
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيْقِي صَرَخْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي.١
2 Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ شِفَاهِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، مِنْ لِسَانِ غِشٍّ.٢
3 What shall be given to thee, and what shall be done more to thee, thou deceitful tongue?
مَاذَا يُعْطِيكَ وَمَاذَا يَزِيدُ لَكَ لِسَانُ ٱلْغِشِّ؟٣
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
سِهَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَسْنُونَةً مَعَ جَمْرِ ٱلرَّتَمِ.٤
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
وَيْلِي لِغُرْبَتِي فِي مَاشِكَ، لِسَكَنِي فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ!٥
6 My soul has long had her dwelling with him who hates peace.
طَالَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَكَنُهَا مَعَ مُبْغِضِ ٱلسَّلَامِ.٦
7 I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
أَنَا سَلَامٌ، وَحِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ فَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.٧
