< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.
تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيْقِي صَرَخْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي.١
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ شِفَاهِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، مِنْ لِسَانِ غِشٍّ.٢
3 What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?
مَاذَا يُعْطِيكَ وَمَاذَا يَزِيدُ لَكَ لِسَانُ ٱلْغِشِّ؟٣
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
سِهَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَسْنُونَةً مَعَ جَمْرِ ٱلرَّتَمِ.٤
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
وَيْلِي لِغُرْبَتِي فِي مَاشِكَ، لِسَكَنِي فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ!٥
6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
طَالَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَكَنُهَا مَعَ مُبْغِضِ ٱلسَّلَامِ.٦
7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
أَنَا سَلَامٌ، وَحِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ فَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.٧
