Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

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

4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

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

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

multum incola fuit anima mea.

7 I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

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