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 a lingua dolosa

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

quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

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

sagittae potentis acutae 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 habitationibus 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 oderant pacem eram pacificus cum loquebar illis inpugnabant me gratis
