Ψαλμοί 120

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

A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

3 τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

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

5 οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
