Dagiti Salmo 120

1 Iti pakarigatak immawagak kenni Yahweh, ket sinungbatannak.

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

2 Ispalem ti biagko, O Yahweh, kadagiti agul-ulbod kadagiti bibigda ken mangal-allilaw kadagiti dilada.

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

3 Anianto ti panangdusana kadakayo, ken anianto pay ngata ti aramidenna kadakayo, dakayo nga addaan iti naulbod a dila?

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

4 Panaennakayonto iti natirad a pana ti mannakigubat, a napanday manipud iti dumardarang a beggang iti enebro.

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

5 Asiak pay gapu ta nagnaedak iti apagbiit idiay Mesek; nagnaedak idi kadagiti tolda ti Kedar.

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

6 Ta nabayag a nakipagnaedak kadagiti manggur-gura iti kapia.

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

7 Kayatko ti kapia, ngem no agsaoak, gubat ti kayatda.

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