< תְהִלִּים 120 >
שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצָּרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י קָ֝רָ֗אתִי וֽ͏ַיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃ | 1 |
A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
יְֽהוָ֗ה הַצִּ֣ילָה נַ֭פְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁ֑קֶר מִלָּשֹׁ֥ון רְמִיָּֽה׃ | 2 |
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭ךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗ךְ לָשֹׁ֥ון רְמִיָּֽה׃ | 3 |
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
חִצֵּ֣י גִבֹּ֣ור שְׁנוּנִ֑ים עִ֝֗ם גַּחֲלֵ֥י רְתָמִֽים׃ | 4 |
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
אֹֽויָה־לִ֭י כִּי־גַ֣רְתִּי מֶ֑שֶׁךְ שָׁ֝כַ֗נְתִּי עִֽם־אָהֳלֵ֥י קֵדָֽר׃ | 5 |
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar!
רַ֭בַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּ֣הּ נַפְשִׁ֑י עִ֝֗ם שֹׂונֵ֥א שָׁלֹֽום׃ | 6 |
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
אֲֽנִי־שָׁ֭לֹום וְכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר הֵ֝֗מָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ | 7 |
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
