Psalms 120

1 A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

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

2 Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

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

3 What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

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

4 It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

5 Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

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

6 My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

multum incola fuit anima mea.

7 I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.

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