Psalms 120

1 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

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

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

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

3 What shall be given unto you? or what shall be done unto you, you false tongue?

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

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

Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

6 My soul has long dwelt with him that hates peace.

multum incola fuit anima mea.

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

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