Ψαλμοί 120

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

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

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

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

3 τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

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

4 τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

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

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

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

6 πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

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

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

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