Psalms 120

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

canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

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

Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful 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 live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

heu mihi quia incolatus meus prolongatus est habitavi cum habitationibus Cedar

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