< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيْقِي صَرَخْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي.١
2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ شِفَاهِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، مِنْ لِسَانِ غِشٍّ.٢
3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
مَاذَا يُعْطِيكَ وَمَاذَا يَزِيدُ لَكَ لِسَانُ ٱلْغِشِّ؟٣
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.
سِهَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَسْنُونَةً مَعَ جَمْرِ ٱلرَّتَمِ.٤
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!
وَيْلِي لِغُرْبَتِي فِي مَاشِكَ، لِسَكَنِي فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ!٥
6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
طَالَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَكَنُهَا مَعَ مُبْغِضِ ٱلسَّلَامِ.٦
7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
أَنَا سَلَامٌ، وَحِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ فَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.٧
