Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

١ تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ صَرَخْتُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيقِي فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي.

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

٢ نَجِّ نَفْسِي يَا رَبُّ مِنَ الشِّفَاهِ الْكَاذِبَةِ وَاللِّسَانِ الْمُنَافِقِ.

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

٣ أَيُّ نَفْعٍ يَأْتِينِي مِنَ اللِّسَانِ الغَشَّاشِ؟

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

٤ إِنَّهُ كَسِهَامِ الْجَبَّارِ الحَادَّةِ وَكَالْجَمْرِ الأَحْمَرِ الْمُلْتَهِبِ.

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

٥ وَيْلِي لأَنِّي تَغَرَّبْتُ فِي مَاشِكَ، وَسَكَنْتُ فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ.

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

٦ طَالَ سَكَنِي مَعَ أُنَاسٍ يُبْغِضُونَ السَّلامَ.

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

٧ أَنَا رَجُلُ سَلامٍ، وَكُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ هَبُّوا هُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.
