Psalms 120

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

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצָּרָתָה לִּי קָרָאתִי וֽ͏ַיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃

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

יְֽהוָה הַצִּילָה נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁקֶר מִלָּשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃

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

מַה־יִּתֵּן לְךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִיף לָךְ לָשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃

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

חִצֵּי גִבּוֹר שְׁנוּנִים עִם גַּחֲלֵי רְתָמִֽים׃

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

אֽוֹיָה־לִי כִּי־גַרְתִּי מֶשֶׁךְ שָׁכַנְתִּי עִֽם־אָהֳלֵי קֵדָֽר׃

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

רַבַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּהּ נַפְשִׁי עִם שׂוֹנֵא שָׁלֽוֹם׃

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

אֲ‍ֽנִי־שָׁלוֹם וְכִי אֲדַבֵּר הֵמָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
