Psalms 120

1 In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

2 O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

3 What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

4 The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

heu mihi quia incolatus meus prolongatus est habitavi cum habitationibus Cedar

6 My soul hath been long a sojourner.

multum incola fuit anima mea

7 With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.

cum his qui oderant pacem eram pacificus cum loquebar illis inpugnabant me gratis
