Psalms 120

1 [A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to Jehovah. He answered me.

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐκέκραξα καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου

2 Deliver my soul, Jehovah, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ χειλέων ἀδίκων καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης δολίας

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

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

τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

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

μετὰ τῶν μισούντων τὴν εἰρήνην ἤμην εἰρηνικός ὅταν ἐλάλουν αὐτοῖς ἐπολέμουν με δωρεάν
