Psalms 120

1 A Canticle in steps. When troubled, I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me.

Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi: et exaudivit me.

2 O Lord, free my soul from lips of iniquity and from the deceitful tongue.

Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis, et a lingua dolosa.

3 What will be given to you, or what will be added to you, for a deceitful tongue?:

Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?

4 the sharp arrows of the powerful, along with the burning coals of desolation.

Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

5 Woe to me, for my sojourning has been prolonged. I have lived with the inhabitants of Kedar.

Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est: habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar:

6 My soul has long been a sojourner.

multum incola fuit anima mea.

7 With those who hated peace, I was peaceful. When I spoke to them, they fought against me without cause.

Cum his, qui oderunt pacem, eram pacificus: cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.
