תְהִלִּים 120

1 שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצָּרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י קָ֝רָ֗אתִי וֽ͏ַיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers me.

2 יְֽהוָ֗ה הַצִּ֣ילָה נַ֭פְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁ֑קֶר מִלָּשֹׁ֥ון רְמִיָּֽה׃

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

3 מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭ךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗ךְ לָשֹׁ֥ון רְמִיָּֽה׃

What does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!

4 חִצֵּ֣י גִבֹּ֣ור שְׁנוּנִ֑ים עִ֝֗ם גַּחֲלֵ֥י רְתָמִֽים׃

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

5 אֹֽויָה־לִ֭י כִּי־גַ֣רְתִּי מֶ֑שֶׁךְ שָׁ֝כַ֗נְתִּי עִֽם־אָהֳלֵ֥י קֵדָֽר׃

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

6 רַ֭בַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּ֣הּ נַפְשִׁ֑י עִ֝֗ם שֹׂונֵ֥א שָׁלֹֽום׃

My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.

7 אֲ‍ֽנִי־שָׁ֭לֹום וְכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר הֵ֝֗מָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃

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