< Psalmorum 120 >

1 Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi: et exaudivit me.
A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.
2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis, et a lingua dolosa.
Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.
3 Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?
What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?
4 Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.
It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.
5 Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est: habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar:
Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.
6 multum incola fuit anima mea.
My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
7 Cum his, qui oderunt pacem, eram pacificus: cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.
I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
