Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

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

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

6 My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

multum incola fuit anima mea.

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

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