Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐκέκραξα καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου

2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ χειλέων ἀδίκων καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης δολίας

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.

τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ

6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

μετὰ τῶν μισούντων τὴν εἰρήνην ἤμην εἰρηνικός ὅταν ἐλάλουν αὐτοῖς ἐπολέμουν με δωρεάν
