Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

١ تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ صَرَخْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِي فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي.

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

٢ نَجِّ نَفْسِي يَا رَبُّ مِنَ الشِّفَاهِ الْكَاذِبَةِ وَاللِّسَانِ الْمُنَافِقِ.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

٣ أَيُّ نَفْعٍ يَأْتِينِي مِنَ اللِّسَانِ الغَشَّاشِ؟

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

٤ إِنَّهُ كَسِهَامِ الْجَبَّارِ الحَادَّةِ وَكَالْجَمْرِ الأَحْمَرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ.

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

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

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

٦ طَالَ سَكَنِي مَعَ أُنَاسٍ يُبْغِضُونَ السَّلامَ.

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

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