Psalms 120

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

Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi: et exaudivit me.

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

Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis, et a lingua dolosa.

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

Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?

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

Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

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

Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est: habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar:

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

multum incola fuit anima mea.

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

Cum his, qui oderunt pacem, eram pacificus: cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.
