Ψαλμοί 120

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

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

3 τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

4 τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

6 πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
