Psalms 120

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

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐκέκραξα καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου

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

κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ χειλέων ἀδίκων καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης δολίας

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

τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

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

τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

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

οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ

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

πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

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

μετὰ τῶν μισούντων τὴν εἰρήνην ἤμην εἰρηνικός ὅταν ἐλάλουν αὐτοῖς ἐπολέμουν με δωρεάν
