Psalms 120

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐκέκραξα καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου

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

κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ χειλέων ἀδίκων καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης δολίας

3 What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

4 Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

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

οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ

6 Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

7 I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

μετὰ τῶν μισούντων τὴν εἰρήνην ἤμην εἰρηνικός ὅταν ἐλάλουν αὐτοῖς ἐπολέμουν με δωρεάν
