Psalmorum 120

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

In my distress I cried unto YHWH, and he heard me.

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

Deliver my soul, O YHWH, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

4 Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

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

6 multum incola fuit anima mea.

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

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