< Psalms 120 >

1 In my distress I cried unto YHWH, and he heard me.
تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ صَرَخْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِي فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي.١
2 Deliver my soul, O YHWH, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
نَجِّ نَفْسِي يَا رَبُّ مِنَ الشِّفَاهِ الْكَاذِبَةِ وَاللِّسَانِ الْمُنَافِقِ.٢
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
أَيُّ نَفْعٍ يَأْتِينِي مِنَ اللِّسَانِ الغَشَّاشِ؟٣
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
إِنَّهُ كَسِهَامِ الْجَبَّارِ الحَادَّةِ وَكَالْجَمْرِ الأَحْمَرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ.٤
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
وَيْلِي لأَنِّي تَغَرَّبْتُ فِي مَاشِكَ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ.٥
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
طَالَ سَكَنِي مَعَ أُنَاسٍ يُبْغِضُونَ السَّلامَ.٦
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
أَنَا رَجُلُ سَلامٍ، وَكُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ هَبُّوا هُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.٧
