Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. 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 a lingua dolosa

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

quid detur tibi et quid adponatur 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 habitationibus Cedar

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

multum incola fuit anima mea

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

cum his qui oderant pacem eram pacificus cum loquebar illis inpugnabant me gratis
