Psalms 120

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

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצָּרָתָה לִּי קָרָאתִי וֽ͏ַיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃

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

יְֽהוָה הַצִּילָה נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁקֶר מִלָּשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃

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

מַה־יִּתֵּן לְךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִיף לָךְ לָשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃

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

חִצֵּי גִבּוֹר שְׁנוּנִים עִם גַּחֲלֵי רְתָמִֽים׃

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

אֽוֹיָה־לִי כִּי־גַרְתִּי מֶשֶׁךְ שָׁכַנְתִּי עִֽם־אָהֳלֵי קֵדָֽר׃

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

רַבַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּהּ נַפְשִׁי עִם שׂוֹנֵא שָׁלֽוֹם׃

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

אֲ‍ֽנִי־שָׁלוֹם וְכִי אֲדַבֵּר הֵמָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
