< תהילים 120 >

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצָּרָתָה לִּי קָרָאתִי וֽ͏ַיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃ 1
A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.
יְֽהוָה הַצִּילָה נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁקֶר מִלָּשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃ 2
Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
מַה־יִּתֵּן לְךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִיף לָךְ לָשׁוֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃ 3
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
חִצֵּי גִבּוֹר שְׁנוּנִים עִם גַּחֲלֵי רְתָמִֽים׃ 4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
אֽוֹיָה־לִי כִּי־גַרְתִּי מֶשֶׁךְ שָׁכַנְתִּי עִֽם־אָהֳלֵי קֵדָֽר׃ 5
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar!
רַבַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּהּ נַפְשִׁי עִם שׂוֹנֵא שָׁלֽוֹם׃ 6
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
אֲ‍ֽנִי־שָׁלוֹם וְכִי אֲדַבֵּר הֵמָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ 7
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
