Psalms 120

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

[the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.

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

O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.

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

What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.

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

Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.

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

Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.

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

Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.

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

I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.
