Psalmorum 120

1 Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi: et exaudivit me.

In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis, et a lingua dolosa.

O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

3 Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?

What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

4 Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

5 Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est: habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar:

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

6 multum incola fuit anima mea.

My soul hath been long a sojourner.

7 Cum his, qui oderunt pacem, eram pacificus: cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.

With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
