< Psalms 120 >

1 A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيْقِي صَرَخْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي.١
2 Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.
يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ شِفَاهِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، مِنْ لِسَانِ غِشٍّ.٢
3 What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?
مَاذَا يُعْطِيكَ وَمَاذَا يَزِيدُ لَكَ لِسَانُ ٱلْغِشِّ؟٣
4 It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.
سِهَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَسْنُونَةً مَعَ جَمْرِ ٱلرَّتَمِ.٤
5 Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.
وَيْلِي لِغُرْبَتِي فِي مَاشِكَ، لِسَكَنِي فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ!٥
6 My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
طَالَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَكَنُهَا مَعَ مُبْغِضِ ٱلسَّلَامِ.٦
7 I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
أَنَا سَلَامٌ، وَحِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ فَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.٧
