Psalms 120

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

١ تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فِي ضِيْقِي صَرَخْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي.

2 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

٢ يَارَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ شِفَاهِ ٱلْكَذِبِ، مِنْ لِسَانِ غِشٍّ.

3 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

٣ مَاذَا يُعْطِيكَ وَمَاذَا يَزِيدُ لَكَ لِسَانُ ٱلْغِشِّ؟

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.

٤ سِهَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَسْنُونَةً مَعَ جَمْرِ ٱلرَّتَمِ.

5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

٥ وَيْلِي لِغُرْبَتِي فِي مَاشِكَ، لِسَكَنِي فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ!

6 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

٦ طَالَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَكَنُهَا مَعَ مُبْغِضِ ٱلسَّلَامِ.

7 I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!

٧ أَنَا سَلَامٌ، وَحِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ فَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.
