Dagiti Salmo 120

1 Iti pakarigatak immawagak kenni Yahweh, ket sinungbatannak.

A song of ascents. In distress I cried to the Lord, and he answered me.

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

“Deliver me, Lord, from the lip that is false and the tongue that is crafty.”

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

What shall he give to you, you tongue that is crafty? What yet shall he give to you?

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

Arrows of warrior, sharpened, with glowing broom coals together.

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 live by the tents of Kedar.

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

Already too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

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

I am for peace: but when I speak of it, they are for war.
