Psalms 120

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I called out to the Lord for help in all my troubles, and he answered me.

canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

2 Lord, please save me from liars and cheats!

Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

3 What will the Lord do to you, you liars? How will he punish you?

quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

4 With the sharp arrows of a warrior and burning coals made from a broom tree.

sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

5 I'm sorry for myself, because I live as a foreigner in Meshech, or among the tent-dwellers of Kedar.

heu mihi quia incolatus meus prolongatus est habitavi cum habitationibus Cedar

6 I have lived for far too long among people who hate peace.

multum incola fuit anima mea

7 I want peace, but when I talk of peace, they want war.

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