תהילים 120

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצָּרָתָה לִּי קָרָאתִי וֽ͏ַיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃

“A song of the degrees.” Unto the Lord, when I was in distress, did I call, and he hath answered me.

2 יְֽהוָה הַצִּילָה נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁקֶר מִלָּשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃

O Lord, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, and from a tongue of deceit.

3 מַה־יִּתֵּן לְךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִיף לָךְ לָשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃

What will [God] give unto thee? or what will he add unto thee, thou tongue of deceit?

4 חִצֵּי גִבּוֹר שְׁנוּנִים עִם גַּחֲלֵי רְתָמִֽים׃

Sharpened arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom-bush.

5 אֽוֹיָה־לִי כִּי־גַרְתִּי מֶשֶׁךְ שָׁכַנְתִּי עִֽם־אָהֳלֵי קֵדָֽר׃

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

6 רַבַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּהּ נַפְשִׁי עִם שׂוֹנֵא שָׁלֽוֹם׃

Too long for herself hath my soul dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 אֲ‍ֽנִי־שָׁלוֹם וְכִי אֲדַבֵּר הֵמָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃

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